TOOL FOR SCAN PATH VISUALIZATION AND DEFECT DISTRIBUTION PREDICTION

A system and method for analyzing build files in an additive manufacturing process in order to predict defects in an additive part. The system and method further include the steps of reading an additive build file containing a set of scan paths of a three-dimensional (3D) object for a build, the set...

Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for analyzing build files in an additive manufacturing process in order to predict defects in an additive part. The system and method further include the steps of reading an additive build file containing a set of scan paths of a three-dimensional (3D) object for a build, the set of scan paths comprising a plurality of points, creating a transfer function from parameters in the build file that corresponds to a local melt pool shape at each point of the plurality of points along the scan paths, and identifying potential defective portions of the additive part including at least one of pores, excessive melting, or surface finish based on the transfer function.
