Research abstract
The Navy desires an Intelligent Additive Manufacturing (IAM) system for metal Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) that can incorporate AI to provide real-time adaptive monitoring and control of the LPBF process and produce defect-free parts while maintaining or reducing part build times. To provide this, our team will develop Open-IAM. The concept will consist of a controllable open architecture LPBF AM system, melt-pool temperature sensors, auxiliary process sensors, and an unsupervised learning algorithm to control the LPBF process.
