Application: Machine learning based rapid parameter development for additive manufacturing and related methods (Patent ID: US20240094702A1)
The patent filed by Baker Hughes Co. describes an additive manufacturing system that includes a process map generation system to optimize the operation of an additive manufacturing device. The system involves generating an operational process map based on mathematical simulations, printing test structures, detecting defects in the structures, updating the process map based on the defects, and adjusting operating parameters accordingly. The defects detected include key holing, lack of fusion, balling, and surface porosity, with operating parameters such as laser power, scanning speed, and powder layer thickness being modified to reduce defects and improve the printing process.
Furthermore, the system incorporates a computed tomography (CT) imager to obtain images of test structures, extract features, detect defects, and classify defect types. Root causes of defects are determined, and a classification model is trained to identify defect types and locations based on CT image features. The operational process map is automatically updated based on classified defect types, and the system can dynamically modify operating parameters during the printing process. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method for optimizing additive manufacturing processes through iterative testing, defect detection, and parameter adjustments to enhance the quality of printed structures.
