3D printing has become essential to many fields for its low-cost production and rapid prototyping abilities. As 3D printing becomes an alternative manufacturing tool, developing methods to non-destructively evaluate defects for quality control is essential. This study integrates the non-destructive terahertz (THz) analysis methods of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and terahertz computed tomography (THz CT) to image and assess 3D printed resin structures for defects. The terahertz images were reconstructed using MATLAB, and the rotational symmetry of various structures before and after the introduction of defects was evaluated by calculating the mean squared deviation (MSD), which served as a symmetry parameter to indicate the presence of defects. Structures A and B had MSD values that were at least three standard deviations larger after introducing defects to their structures, showing a significant change in symmetry and indicating the existence of defects. Similarly, in structure C, blockages in parts made with different post-cures were identified based on the increase in MSD values for those slices. For structure D, the presence of a defect increased the MSD value by 14%. The results of this study verify that the MSD calculated for the rotational symmetry of the structures was greater when defects were present, accurately reflecting the anticipated breaks in symmetry. This paper demonstrates that terahertz imaging, combined with MSD analysis, is a viable procedure to identify and quantify defects in rotationally symmetric 3D printed structures.
