Abstract Scope |
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) demands accurate 3D scanning for part monitoring, but existing solutions are costly. Welding environments often damage expensive 3D scanners, creating a need for affordable alternatives. The research aims to create a more cost-effective solution for 3D-scanning WAAM parts by integrating an Intel RealSense D405 camera and a Kuka KR-6 robot arm while utilizing Open3D for point cloud processing. Topics to be discussed include using robot position data to significantly reduce point cloud processing time, improving camera-tool calibration through optics-based tool center point (TCP) and developing successful mesh generations of WAAM parts. Results to date demonstrate a promising alternative to WAAM monitoring at a fraction of the cost of existing hardware and software solutions. |
