Detecting defects in 3D prints

Using computer vision to spot defects during 3D printing.

My role: Thesis researcher

The challenge

Can images of a print reveal defects while the part is being made?

My approach

For my thesis, I integrated computer vision into the printing process and used deep learning to identify defects. The photo shows the printer and the monitoring setup used for the project.

The result

Our thesis work achieved 91.7% accuracy in detecting print defects, as reported in my LinkedIn update.
