Online Detection and Prediction of Fused Deposition Modelled Parts Using Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is a technology used for filament deposition of heated plastic filaments by a given pattern by the melted extrusion process. Delamination is a critical issue of FDM's incredibly complex parts. In this chapter, the artificial intelligence (machine learning) model is used for online detections and prediction of FDM parts. The proposed machine learning and convolutional neural network model is capable of online detect delamination of FDM parts. The proposed model can also be applied for different types of additive manufacturing materials with less human interaction.
