Abstract

This paper presents a predictive defect detection method for prototype additive manufacturing (AM) based on multilayer susceptibility discrimination (MSD). Most current methods are significantly limited by merely captured images, disregarding the differences between layer-by-layer manufacturing approaches, without combining transcendental knowledge. The visible parts, originating from the prototype of conceptual design, are determined based on spherical flipping and convex hull theory, on the basis of which theoretical template image (TTI) is rendered according to photorealistic technology. In addition, to jointly consider the differences in AM processes, the finite element method (FEM) of transient thermal-structure coupled analysis was conducted to probe susceptible regions where defects appeared with a higher possibility. Driven by prior knowledge acquired from the FEM analysis, the MSD with an adaptive threshold, which discriminated the sensitivity and susceptibility of each layer, was implemented to determine defects. The anomalous regions were detected and refined by superimposing multiple-layer anomalous regions and comparing the structural features extracted using the Chan-Vese (CV) model. A physical experiment was performed via digital light processing (DLP) with photosensitive resin of a non-faceted scaled V-shaped engine block prototype with cylindrical holes using a non-contact profilometer. This MSD method is practical for detecting defects and is valuable for a deeper exploration of barely visible impact damage (BVID), thereby reducing the defect of prototypical mechanical parts in engineering machinery or process equipment via intellectualized machine vision.
