Abstract: A method of estimating a property of an article manufactured, at least in part, by additive manufacturing, AM, preferably directed energy deposition, DED, and/or powder bed fusion, PBF, is described. The method implemented, at least in part, by a computer comprising a processor and a memory. The method comprises: obtaining a set of in-process parameters of the AM of the article, wherein respective parameters of the set thereof have positional information associated therewith; inferring a set of attributes of the article corresponding to the set of in-process parameters, wherein respective attributes of the set thereof have the positional information associated therewith; and estimating the property of the article based, at least in part, on the inferred set of attributes.
