Abstract
A method of monitoring metal pieces including generating, on a computing device, a 3D digital model of a metal piece to be produced by additive manufacturing; and identifying regions of interest in the model where defects are more likely to occur during manufacturing The regions of interest are identified using software to check the model according to specific design rules. N NDT sensors are either: selectively activated among a total of M NDT sensors, or mounted on a sensor supporting structure at specific locations along an axis. The N NDT sensors are selectively activated or mounted as a function of the regions of interest identified in the model to retrieve data on the properties of the quality of metal parts of the metal piece only for the corresponding regions of interest of the metal piece during its additive manufacturing. Also, a system is configured to carry out the method.
