Quality analysis in metal additive manufacturing with deep learning

As a promising modern technology, additive manufacturing (AM) has been receiving increasing research and industrial attention in the recent years. With its rapid development, the importance of quality monitoring in AM process has been recognized, which significantly affects the property of the manufactured parts. Since the conventional hand-crafted features for quality identification are generally costly, time-consuming and sensitive to noises, the intelligent data-driven automatic process monitoring methods are becoming more and more popular at present. This paper proposes a deep learning-based quality identification method for metal AM process. To alleviate the requirement for large amounts of high-quality labeled training data by most existing data-driven methods, an identification consistency-based approach is proposed to better explore the semi-supervised training data. The proposed method is able to achieve promising performance using limited supervised samples with low quality, such as noisy and blurred images. Experiments on a real-world metal AM dataset are implemented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, which offers a promising tool for real industrial applications.
