DATA-DRIVEN INSPECTION EXPERT SYSTEM FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Additive manufacturing (AM) technology is considered one of the most promising advanced technologies for manufacturing. Compared with traditional manufacturing such as CNC tools, forging, and welding, AM technology has advantages such as no need for tools or molds, high material utilization, a short product manufacturing cycle, and the ability to manufacture complex structures. All AM systems work on the same principle of building a structure additively from a substrate. Some AM processes have the ability to print various materials including polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites. AM is especially suitable for low-cost, short-cycle, rapid prototyping, or even the production of large and complex metal structures…
