Such materials are usually in powder form and fused by a laser beam. The manufacturing quality depends on the interaction between a high-energy laser beam and the powdered material. However, in-homogeneous temperature distribution, unstable laser powder, and inconsistent powder densities can cause defects in the final product, for example, Powder Bed Defects. Such factors can lead to irregularities, for example, warping, distortion, and inadequate powder bed fusion. These irregularities may affect the profitable SLS production. Consequently, detecting powder bed defects requires automation. An ensemble learning-based approach is proposed for detecting defects in SLS powder bed images from this perceptive. The proposed approach first pre-processes the images to reduce the computational complexity. Then, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based ensembled models (off-the-shelf CNN, bagged CNN, and boosted CNN) are implemented and compared. The ensemble learning CNN (bagged and boosted CNN) is good for powder bed detection. The evaluation results indicate that the performance of bagged CNN is significant. It also indicates that preprocessing of the images, mainly cropping to the region of interest, improves the performance of the proposed approach.
