About this technology
Overview
To ensure quality results from important manufacturing processes, Marshall Space Flight Center partnered with Control Vision Inc. of Sahuarita, Arizona, to create video sensor systems capable of imaging high-temperature, high-brightness processes like laser welding and plasma spray. The company's resulting commercial products help manufacturers maintain quality control and can be used to control processes such as additive manufacturing.
