In this project, students will explore the intersection of image processing and predictive modeling within the context of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing (AM). The primary task involves analyzing images of deposition profiles to automatically measure the width and height of deposits under varying laser power and scanning velocities. These measurements will then be used to develop a predictive model, which could be AI-based or utilize other modeling techniques, to forecast the deposited dimensions. This project aims to enhance understanding of DED AM processes and improve the accuracy of deposition predictions, contributing to advancements in manufacturing technology.
