Abstract: A control and feedback technique to determine the proper location of powder control temperature regions includes detecting solid parts having specified shape and thermal characteristics. The solid parts are generated by a 3D printer. The solid parts include powder material fused on a layer by layer basis. A powder control temperature region is selected in each layer of powder material, wherein the region is located in unfused powder material adjacent to the solid parts, and wherein the region is selected based on characteristics of the shape of a build area and thermal imaging associated with any of a structural formation of the solid parts adjacent to the region, and an amount of thermal energy radiated by the solid parts adjacent to the region. The amount of thermal energy to cause fusing of the powder material on each subsequent layer is modified based on location of the powder control temperature region.

Abstract: Scheduling of manufacturing jobs is described herein. In accordance with an example, the scheduling of manufacturing jobs includes obtaining an order parameter associated with a product to be manufactured on a manufacturing equipment set. A product dimension of an intermediate product for the product is determined based on the order parameter and a production attribute. Further, the manufacturing job is scheduled for the product amongst manufacturing jobs for other products to be manufactured on the manufacturing equipment set, based on the product dimension of the intermediate product and a scheduling criterion. The scheduling criterion can be a parameter to regulate the scheduling of the manufacturing jobs on the manufacturing equipment set.

Abstract: A method of custom print mode generation in a three-dimensional (3D) printing device may include printing a plurality of parts with a plurality of 3D printing devices, the parts each being printed using different process parameters, and capturing a plurality of images of the parts. The method may also include, with an image analysis module, analyzing the images to classify the parts into a plurality of defect gradings, and adjusting a number of the process parameters based on characteristics of the parts identified by a user as undesirable. The examiner may also include, with a recommending module, creating a custom print mode based on the parts defect gradings and adjusted process parameters.

Abstract: In some examples, with respect to region of interest monitoring and control for additive manufacturing, a blob detection analysis may be performed on first and second component images associated with additive manufacturing of a component, and blobs that remain a same shape and include same centroids on the first and second component images may be identified. A further blob detection analysis may be performed on first and second thermal images associated with the first and second component images, and a determination may be made as to whether one of the identified blobs includes a same shape and a different centroid between the first and second thermal images. Based on a determination that the one of the identified blobs includes the same shape and the different centroid, an indication of a thermal camera misalignment associated with the additive manufacturing may be generated.

Abstract: In some examples, a distribution of values of a property of a given layer to be printed as part of three-dimensional (3D) printing is predicted, wherein the predicting is based on a distribution of values of the property in a previous layer that has been printed as part of the 3D printing. 3D printing of an object is controlled based on the predicted distribution of values of the property of the given layer.

Abstract: A system and method for providing three dimensional printing production quality prediction is described herein. The system may include logic to scan a region of interest associated with a layer of a plurality of parts during printing to obtain an input for the region of interest and compute an input metric associated with the layer based on the input. In response to an initial set of print jobs, at least a portion of the plurality of parts is mechanically tested to determine at least one output. In response to a production print job, a likelihood of a part of the plurality of parts to satisfy a quality specification is predicted by inputting the input metric to at least one machine learning function comprising the at least one output, wherein the at least one machine learning function is trained during the initial set of print jobs.
