Abstract: The present aspects include a recoater blade system. The recoater blade system includes a blade body with a longitudinal length between a first end and a second end, and a sensor device associated with the blade body. The sensor device is configured to receive inputs relating to characteristics of a powder bed. The inputs may include drag force of the blade body across the powder bed and impact force on the blade body, and these inputs may determine the spreading quality of the blade body and any surface defects that may be present.
