    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 an example, an apparatus includes an image processing system, a print engine, and a vision system. The image processing system generates electronic signals based on a model of an object to be fabricated using an additive manufacturing process. The print engine performs the additive manufacturing process in a plurality of passes based on the electronic signals. The vision system acquires a plurality of thermal images of the plurality of passes and assigns individual passes to individual images based on data acquired during a build of a calibration object by the additive manufacturing process. The print engine may further include a material coater to spread a powder coating material, a plurality of fluid ejection devices to eject a fusing agent, and an emitter to emit energy to fuse the fusing agent and the powder coating material into a layer of the object to be fabricated.

    Abstract: A user interface (71) to a computing device (90) receives geographic locations for a plurality of production sites. A socio-economic relevancy analyzer (72) determines relevancy of socio-economic information for the plurality of production sites. A socio-economic events analyzer (73) performs analysis of potential effects of the socio-economic information obtained by the socio-economic event relevancy analyzer (72) as pertains to the plurality of production sites. A simulator (74) simulates production of each of the production sites. The simulator (74) utilizes analysis of potential effects of the socio-economic information performed by the socio-economic events analyzer (73).

    Abstract: An example system includes a simulation engine to determine a plurality of thermal states that will be experienced by powder at a voxel of a three-dimensional print volume as a result of printing a particular build. Each thermal state corresponds to a time during the printing or cooling from the printing. The system includes a stress engine to calculate a stress to the powder at the voxel based on the plurality of thermal states. The system includes a degradation engine to determine an amount of degradation of the powder at the voxel based on the stress.

    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.
