Abstract

A system for detecting three-dimensional (3D) part drag includes an infrared image capture device to capture a plurality of thermal images of a 3D part build region of a 3D printing device on which a part is built, and an image analysis module to detect drag of the part based on a difference image produced by subtracting a first thermal image from a second thermal image.
