On the application of machine learning for defect detection in L-PBF additive manufacturing

This paper investigates the performance of several Machine Learning (ML) techniques for online defect detection in the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L- PBF) process. The research aims to improve the consistency in product quality and process reliability. The applications of acoustic emission (AE) sensor to receive elastic waves during the printing process is a cost-effective way of materializing such a demand. In this study, the process parameters …
