A device and a method of monitoring a condition of a machine in real time. The method includes: interfacing an edge device with the machine; requesting a handle from a controller of the machine; querying the machine with an adapter of the edge device for a control data; and acquiring control data from one or more sensors of the machine. The method includes repeating the steps of querying the control data and acquiring the control data after a period of time at a high frequency.

Methods and systems for testing a material quality executed by a computer numerically controlled machine include a carrier plate coupled to a first tool holder of the computer numerically controlled machine, the carrier plate including a first test specimen formed of an additive manufacturing material, a testing tool coupled to a second tool holder of the computer numerically controlled machine, the testing tool including a specimen interface, and engaging the first test specimen with the specimen interface of the testing tool. Relative movement between the first and second tool holders causes the testing tool to execute a first test toolpath relative to the first test specimen, during which is obtained a first set of test data indicative of mechanical properties of the first test specimen.
