Abstract A machine learning approach for on-line fault recognition via automatic image processing is developed to timely identify material defects due to process non-conformities in Selective Laser Melting (SLM) of metal powders. In-process images acquired during the layer-by-layer SLM processing are analyzed via a bi-stream Deep Convolutional Neural Network-based model, and the recognition of SLM defective condition-related pattern is achieved by automated image feature learning and feature fusion. Experimental evaluations confirmed the effectiveness of the machine learning method for on-line detection of defects due to process non-conformities, providing the basis for adaptive SLM process control and part quality assurance.
