Method and system for manufacturing a component using an additive process

A method for an additive manufacturing of a component by repetitively superposing and solidifying material layers, according to a 3D model of the component, the method comprising the steps of:

• applying a material layer over a solidified cross section of the component;
• solidifying a region of the material layer with the underlying solidified cross section so as to obtain a new solidified cross section;
• sensing the new solidified cross section by means of an eddy current sensing unit so as to provide an integrity data of a sensed portion thereof, and
• detecting a manufacturing anomaly of said new solidified cross section based on a difference between the sensed integrity data and an expected integrity data;
• wherein the expected integrity data is determined based on collected integrity data of a solid basic structure representative of said sensed portion of the new solidified cross section, wherein said solid basic structure is selected from a catalogue of predefined solid basic structures with their corresponding collected integrity data, and wherein each of said predefined solid basic structures is manufactured or simulated using a 3D model other than that of the others of said predefined solid basic structures and other than that of the component.
