Abstract Scope |
Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing (AM) technique that is prevalently applied in various industries such as aerospace, medical, and consumer goods. However, the low reliability hinders its advancements for mass production. In this work, we present an innovative reliability enhancement system (RES-FDM) that improves the systematic performance of FDM printers. RES-FDM uses a camera to capture real-time images of prints, which are inferred by a Deep Learning (DL) and a post-processing algorithm to terminate the printing process on detecting failures such as stringing and warping. The DL model is trained with a large dataset consisting of over 9000 experimentally collected images, achieving an accuracy of 95%. Compared with printers without RES-FDM, the printing failure rate is reduced from 16% to 4%. The RES-FDM proposed in this work shows significant improvements in the reliability of the FDM technology, paving the way for its applications for mass industry production. |
