3D printing is currently experiencing a genuine boom. Whereas 3D printers were originally intended only for the production of prototypes and for the production of individual parts, they have since been used for series production, too. To create high quality products, precise guidance of the print head, and accurate positioning are required. Reliable real‐time control is, e.g., provided by the high precision optoNCDT 1420 laser sensors from Micro‐Epsilon.
