Breakthrough Vision System Brings Real-Time Quality Control To Wire Arc 3D Printing
Researchers at Cranfield University have developed a universal monitoring system for wire arc additive manufacturing, known as WAAM-ViD. The system uses a two-stage deep learning pipeline to analyze the melt pool, allowing for real-time quality control. This breakthrough could increase the adoption of wire arc additive manufacturing in the aerospace industry, as reported by Bioengineer.org.
