TLDR
A computer vision algorithm is used to automatically detect and classify anomalies that occur during the powder spreading stage of the process, which has the potential to become a component of a real-time control system in an LPBF machine.
Abstract
Despite the rapid adoption of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) Additive Manufacturing by industry, current processes remain largely open-loop, with limited real-time monitoring capabilities. While some machines offer powder bed visualization during builds, they lack automated analysis capability. This work presents an approach for in-situ monitoring and analysis of powder bed images with the potential to become a component of a real-time control system in an LPBF machine. Specifically, a computer vision algorithm is used to automatically detect and classify anomalies that occur during the powder spreading stage of the process. Anomaly detection and classification are implemented using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm, operating on a moderately-sized training database of image patches. The performance of the final algorithm is evaluated, and its usefulness as a standalone software package is demonstrated with several case studies.

Deep learning

TL;DR: Deep learning is making major advances in solving problems that have resisted the best attempts of the artificial intelligence community for many years, and will have many more successes in the near future because it requires very little engineering by hand and can easily take advantage of increases in the amount of available computation and data.
