Abstract

Provided is a method for computer-aided processing of quality information of an object manufactured by stacked printed layers in an additive manufacturing system, including the steps of: receiving a quality indicator for each printed layer of the object from the manufacturing system, assigning a color out of a predefined set of colors to each quality indicator depending on the value of the quality indicator, visualizing the quality indicators of the received manufactured layers as a sequence of colored bars ordered according to the sequence of the manufactured layers the color of each bar indicating the value of the quality indicator of the respective printed layer on a graphical user interface.
