SENSOR BASED SMART SEGMENTATION

Abstract:

According to some embodiments, system and methods are provided comprising receiving, via a communication interface of a platform comprising a segmentation module and a processor, a defined geometry for one or more geometric structures forming one or more parts, wherein the parts are manufactured with an additive manufacturing machine; generating a build file including an initial parameter set to fabricate each part; fabricating the part based on the build file; receiving sensor data for the fabricated part; generating a parameter set for each layer that forms the part, via execution of an iterative learning control process for each layer; generating raw power data for each layer that forms the part, using the processor, based on the generated parameter set; applying a noise reduction process to the raw power data; and generating a segmented build file, using the segmentation module, via application of the noise reduction process on the raw power data. Numerous other aspects are provided.
