AI构建introduces computer vision for 3D printing quality control

AI构建位于伦敦的AI和自动化的3D打印专家,已推出了一种实时质量检查工具。使用计算机视觉和AI,Aimaker Fleet的新功能将有助于提高大规模3D打印项目的准确性。

According toDaghan Cam, CEO of Ai Build,The milestone we are announcing today is a result of our obsession for flawless production and a major leap towards fully automated, autonomous factories of the future,”

“我们很高兴看到用户的生产力如何随着这项先进的技术而提高。”

未来工厂

AI构建portfolio includes AiMaker, an AI equipped robotic arm, AiCell, an enclosure for the AiMaker, and AiSync, a cloud-based software for remotely controlling a fleet of AiMakers at a factory anywhere in the world. Currently, these products are available through a monthly or yearly subscription, which ranges from Basic to Professional Combo. The latter includes the full range of Ai Build products and a robotic arm byKuka

Real-time quality assurance

在3D打印质量问题过程中的任何时候都可能出现。如果未被发现,此类问题可能会使印刷品无法使用,并且制造时间浪费了。正如卡姆解释的那样,“We have a simple rule at Ai Build: If a product is faulty, we repeat production. If it has a small defect, we repeat. If we are slightly in doubt, we repeat. This level of perfection in additive manufacturing usually comes at a high cost, in the form of excessive labour and material waste.”

To counter quality issues,许多公司已经整合了实时质量监控系统。Such systems can either revise the machine’s parameters based on data or require human intervention. In both cases, printing errors can be fixed and significant amounts of time and costs can be saved.

AI构建AiMaker platform is now fitted with a camera and a GPU module that compares images of an in-process part with previously printed objects. If the quality of the 3D print in the process is not up to standard then AiMaker sends a notification to the AiSync.

Leonidas Leonidou, Ai Build’s Head of Applied Research, explained, “By detecting printing实时缺陷,我们的AI技术提供了自动化质量控制的潜力,同时又是对设计师设计的一种反馈形式,即其设计的可打印性以及如何在将来的印刷品中消除这种印刷问题。”

The QA enabled 3D printers will begin shipping in the second half of 2019. The technology will be showcased at theAI Summittaking place between 12th-13th June in London.
