Dutch 3D printing service provider Royal3D has launched the Interlayer Control System (ICS), a thermal monitoring tool for industrial 3D printing operations.
The Rotterdam-based provider’s system uses a 160 x 140 pixel thermal camera to continuously track nozzle positions across XYZ coordinates, measuring and logging interlayer temperatures as a print runs.

The Interlayer Control System represents a tactical response to a persistent problem in 3D printing: thermal heterogeneity. Royal3D’s offering isn’t revolutionary – infrared monitoring is a known solution – but the combination of real-time XYZ nozzle tracking and the data logging capacity presents a significant practical improvement. The “smart, data-driven manufacturing” framing is classic A.R.C. playbook; deploying a tool as a pathway to a larger, technologically-driven transformation. The foc...
