N2 - The versatility of Additive Manufacturing (AM) has enabled engineers and designers to realize previously impossible geometries. However, the increasing geometric complexities of these components pose a significant challenge for traditional inspection methods. If a part cannot be appropriately inspected costly redesign will be required, or worse fatal flaws and imperfections may not be identified prior to part-use. Considering the constraints of inspection techniques early in the design process could help designers make better design decisions. This paper aims to identify and investigate the fundamental relationship between the geometric features, geometric complexity, and overall inspectability of AM parts. Results suggest that traditionally accepted indicators of geometric complexity, such as lattice structures, do not significantly predict part inspectability.
