# Manufacturing assistance system for an additive manufacturing system

## Abstract

The present invention relates to a manufacturing assistance system for an additive manufacturing system, an additive manufacturing system comprising such manufacturing assistance system, a method for operating such manufacturing assistance system and a computer program element for such manufacturing assistance system. The manufacturing assistance system comprises a process sensor unit, an imaging sensor unit and a control unit. The process sensor unit is arrangeable at the additive manufacturing system and configured to generate process data during manufacturing an object by the additive manufacturing system. The imaging sensor unit is arrangeable at the additive manufacturing system and configured to generate image data of the object during manufacturing. The control unit is configured to collect the process data generated by the process sensor unit and the image data generated by the imaging sensor unit and to correlate the process data and the image data to determine a current state of the object.
