| contents | This study is the first application of spiking neural networks (SNNs) for anomaly detection in the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing process. The neural networks were used to identify print processing anomalies generated by dropping of laser energy during the printing of individual layers in a Ti-6Al-4V alloy lattice structures. Associated changes in the laser generated melt pool were observed using an in-process photodiode monitoring technique. photodiode sensors capturing plasma and infrared radiations reflected from the print bed of the metal 3D printer were utilized to detect sudden changes caused by anomalies during the printing process. The algorithm is first implemented on non-neuromorphic hardware including a central processing unit (CPU), on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and then on neuromorphic Intel's Loihi chip. Improved detection of anomalies is achieved by adjusting the spike latency of the neural network, which reduces masking of information by noise within the monitored temporal signal. The work demonstrates the possibility of using low-power neuromorphic chips within an edge framework for anomaly detection in additive manufacturing and creates a framework for the process. |
