Additive manufacturing: Optimisation of slip production through temperature and speed monitoring

One variant of additive manufacturing is bath-based photopolymerisation. In this technique, photosensitive suspensions, known as slurries, are cured locally selectively. The optimisation of these slurries significantly determines the quality of the subsequent process steps; monitoring the temperature and speed during mixing and homogenisation in a centrifugal mixer helps with this.
