A vision-based deep convolutional neural network framework for surface defect detection in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is highly vulnerable to a range of process-induced defects that can adversely part quality, structural integrity, dimensional accuracy and long-term reliability, thereby limiting broader industrial adoption. This work presents a feasibility investigation into automated detection of defe...
