3D Printing

3D printing, or additive manufacturing, aims to create objects layer-by-layer from digital designs, focusing on improving precision, speed, and material versatility. Current research emphasizes automated quality control using machine learning, particularly convolutional neural networks and large language models, to detect and correct printing errors in real-time, and to optimize toolpath planning for various materials and printing techniques. These advancements are significant for enhancing manufacturing efficiency, enabling the production of complex geometries, and expanding the range of applications across diverse industries.
