Abstract
A method includes receiving torque data of a powder recoater operatively connected to an additive manufacturing system. The torque data includes torque data of the recoater when the recoater traverses a build area. Receiving torque data includes receiving force data from a plurality of load cells, each load cell operatively associated with a blade segment of a recoater blade assembly. The method also includes determining a quality of one or more of an additive manufacturing process and/or product based on the torque data.
