Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to an additive manufacturing system configured to generate an electron beam directed toward a target to generate x-ray flux. The x-ray flux is directed toward the component through at least one plate with a pinhole. Interactions between the component and the x-ray flux generate x-ray radiation. The at least one detector is configured to detect the x-ray radiation through a pinhole. An analysis component is configured to generate an image comprising a three-dimensional component based on the x-ray radiation detected by the at least detector.
