Schematic of 3D printing specimen preparation and microstructure characterization. (a) Laser 3D printing setup and a low magnification optical micrograph showing two types of cracks parallel and perpendicular to the substrate/cladding interface. (b) Optical microscope image of the investigated crack containing region. (c) Raw intensity map generated from μXRD to show the cracks as low intensity pixels with reasonable contrast and spatial resolution.
