Abstract: Method, and corresponding system, for receiving and processing sensor data for an additive manufacturing machine. The method includes determining values of the sensor data relative to time; and determining tool positions relative to time based on process data which controls operation of the additive manufacturing machine. The method further includes determining the sensor data values at the working tool positions based on a correlation of the values of the sensor data relative to time and the working tool positions relative to time. A representation of the sensor data values at the working tool positions is displayed by a user interface device.

Abstract: Method, and corresponding system, for iteratively distributing improved process parameters to a fleet of additive manufacturing machines. The method includes receiving sensor data from a sensor for a first machine of the fleet of machines. The method further includes comparing the sensor data values at the working tool positions of the plurality of layers to reference data values at the working tool positions for the plurality of layers to determine a set of comparison measures for the first machine. The method further includes selecting a machine from among the first machine and at least a second machine of the fleet of machines based at least in part on the comparison measures of each of the machines. The method further includes receiving, from the selected machine, process parameters of the selected machine; and transmitting at least part of the process parameters of the selected machine to other machines of the fleet.
