Description
On the data collector PC, photodiode data is processed into a volume file in near real time on a layer-
by-layer basis. The volume files contain spatial representations of the data that can be inspected in
both 2D and 3D. The processing is carried out by the Renishaw DataHUB software.
DataHUB can be configured to selectively capture all or part of the build and sensor data.
InfiniAM Spectral is data visualisation software. It enables the user to visually inspect data from
the LaserVIEW and MeltVIEW hardware via volume files produced by DataHUB. The data can be
inspected either as a 3D representation at a resolution of 240 µm (0.009 in), or as individual layers in
2D with a resolution of either 40 µm (0.0015 in) or 150 µm (0.006 in) depending on the volume type.
Tools are available to manipulate how the data is displayed, enabling different features to be drawn out
to aid interpretation.
It is also possible to compare different layers – either from the same build or from different builds – in
order to assess build consistency.
