Flexible optical fiber probe for surface roughness evaluation of internal channels in additively manufactured components

Recent developments in Additive Manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized the production capabilities of multitudes of aerospace components. However, being a stochastic process, there is minimal control over the surface quality and thus require adequate quality checks before implementation. In this cont...
