Inspection Method to Increase Confidence in Laser Powder Bed Fusion
Researchers developed a machine learning framework for identifying flaws in 3D printed products using sensor data gathered simultaneously with production, saving time and money while maintaining comparable accuracy to traditional post-inspection. The approach, developed in partnership with aerospace and defense company RTX, utilizes a machine learning algorithm trained on CT scans to identify flaws in printed products.
