Process Optimization Under Uncertainty for Improving the Bond Quality of Polymer Filaments in Fused Filament Fabrication

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

This paper presents a computational framework that optimizes process parameters to maximize bond quality between polymer filaments in fused filament fabrication (FFF). It couples transient heat‑transfer analysis with a sintering neck growth model, quantifies uncertainty from both aleatory and epistemic sources, and incorporates model discrepancy via a Gaussian process surrogate. Sensitivity analysis using Sobol indices and physical experiments for calibration validate that the optimized parameters yield high bond quality.

Multi-Objective Optimization Under Uncertainty of Part Quality in Fused Filament Fabrication

This study introduces a data‑driven method for multi‑objective optimization in fused filament fabrication (FFF), targeting both geometric accuracy and filament bond quality. Experiments supply part‑quality data, which feed Bayesian neural network models that predict the two objectives while accounting for epistemic and aleatory uncertainties. Using these stochastic predictions, robustness‑based optimization explores nozzle temperature, speed, and layer thickness, producing Pareto surfaces that reveal trade‑offs and are validated through actual part manufacturing.

Physics-Informed and Hybrid Machine Learning in Additive Manufacturing: Application to Fused Filament Fabrication

The article explores physics-informed and hybrid machine learning approaches for predicting bond quality and porosity in fused filament fabrication (FFF) parts. It examines three strategies—embedding physics constraints in the loss function, adding physics model outputs as inputs, and pre‑training with physics data—to enforce consistency with physical laws. Eight combinations of these strategies are tested, showing that integrating multiple approaches yields accurate predictions even with limited experimental data.

Influence of Extruded Filament Shape on Buildability in 3D Concrete Printing: A Geometry-Informed Deep Learning-FEM Approach

The paper presents a geometry‑informed modeling framework that couples a deep‑learning filament shape predictor (ShapeGen3DCP) with a layer‑activation finite element method to assess buildability in 3D concrete printing. By generating realistic filament geometries directly from material and process parameters, the approach eliminates the need for experimental filament characterization or fluid‑flow simulations. Validation and parametric studies show that extrusion parameters and filament shape significantly affect buildability predictions, especially for free‑flow deposition, and that an elliptical approximation balances fidelity and simplicity while volume‑conserving rectangular representations improve prediction reliability.

Physics-Informed Discovery of Yield Functions in Plasticity via Convex Neural Representations

arXiv:2606. 19375v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Identifying anisotropic yield functions remains challenging since yielding is not directly observed in full-field mechanical measurements, directional calibration can require many loading directions, and selecting an appropriate analytical form is nontrivial.
