Description

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables efficient and dynamic manufacturing of complex parts. However, the same complexity enabled by AM also poses challenges to qualification, often requiring expensive and time consuming CT scanning. Using the robust stream of data coming from the printing process the team will mature artificial intelligence (AI) technology that enables real-time data stream analysis for defects. The team will determine a threshold such that defective parts can be flagged to save time and money during the manufacturing and qualification process. The Phase 1 work will focus on soliciting support for Phase 2 by presenting a prototype model that will be developed based on prior data collected by OSU's CDME team.
