This chapter provides an analysis of the state-of-the-art in ML applications for optimizing the additive manufacturing process. This chapter primarily presents a review of the literature on the use of machine learning (ML) in optimizing the additive manufacturing process at various stages. The chapter identifies ML-researched areas in which ML can be used to optimize processes such as process design, process plan and control, process monitoring, quality enhancement of additively manufactured products, and so on. In addition, general literature on the intersection of additive manufacturing and machine learning will be presented. The benefits and drawbacks of ML for additive manufacturing will be discussed, as well as existing obstacles that are currently limiting applications.

Abstract Simulation tools improve various aspects of the additive manufacturing process, however, they come with an undesirable computational time for real-world applications. Finite element analysis (FEA) that solves partial differential equations (PDE) presents promising capabilities in simple additive manufactured components as an expository problem. Yet, PDE-based solutions take significantly long CPU time due to a large number of timesteps required to simulate an additively manufactured part. With modern machine learning (ML) capabilities, a new shift towards integration of FEA and ML has been introduced, where ML algorithms emulate the behavior of the time-consuming PDE-solver for real-time analysis of PDE in a given application. In this paper, we present a deep learning (DL) model that can substitute the thermal analysis of the additive manufacturing process. The training data is obtained by sampling the established physical model’s behavior over different temperatures, cooling rates, and part’s geometries. The network architecture is composed of a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to model the temporal sequence of deposition temperatures derived by PDEs. The reported R2 value on validations data is 97%, while the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is 0.04. This paper compares the performance between the PDE and DL forecast for the thermal results. We show DL models are promising for simulation of the additive manufacturing process, and can be reliable alternatives for computationally-expensive FEM tools.

Although complex geometries are attainable with additive manufacturing (AM), a major barrier preventing its use in mission-critical applications is the lack of geometric accuracy of AM parts. Existing geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) characteristics are defined based on simple landmark features, and thus, need to be customized to capture the subtle difference in parts with complex geometries. Hence, the objective of this work is to quantify the geometric deviations of additively manufactured parts from a large data set of laser-scanned coordinates using an unsupervised machine learning (ML) approach called the self-organizing map (SOM). The central hypothesis is that clusters recognized by the SOM correspond to specific types of geometric deviations, which in turn are linked to certain AM process conditions. This hypothesis is tested on parts made while varying process conditions in the fused filament fabrication (FFF) AM process. The outcomes of this research are as follows: (1) visualizing and quantifying the link between process conditions and geometric accuracy in FFF and (2) significantly reducing the amount of point cloud data required for characterizing of geometric accuracy. The significance of this research is that this unsupervised ML approach resulted in less than 3% of over 1 million data points being required to fully quantify the part geometric accuracy.

Inspired by natural language processing techniques we here introduce Mol2vec which is an unsupervised machine learning approach to learn vector representations of molecular substructures. Similarly, to the Word2vec models where vectors of closely related words are in close proximity in the vector space, Mol2vec learns vector representations of molecular substructures that are pointing in similar directions for chemically related substructures. Compounds can finally be encoded as vectors by summing up vectors of the individual substructures and, for instance, feed into supervised machine learning approaches to predict compound properties. The underlying substructure vector embeddings are obtained by training an unsupervised machine learning approach on a so-called corpus of compounds that consists of all available chemical matter. The resulting Mol2vec model is pre-trained once, yields dense vector representations and overcomes drawbacks of common compound feature representations such as sparseness and bit collisions. The prediction capabilities are demonstrated on several compound property and bioactivity data sets and compared with results obtained for Morgan fingerprints as reference compound representation. Mol2vec can be easily combined with ProtVec, which employs the same Word2vec concept on protein sequences, resulting in a proteochemometric approach that is alignment independent and can be thus also easily used for proteins with low sequence similarities.

The system-plus-bath model is an important tool to understand nonadiabatic dynamics for large molecular systems. The understanding of the collective motion of a huge number of bath modes is essential to reveal their key roles in the overall dynamics. We apply the principal component analysis (PCA) to investigate the bath motion based on the massive data generated from the MM-SQC (symmetrical quasi-classical dynamics method based on the Meyer-Miller mapping Hamiltonian) nonadiabatic dynamics of the excited-state energy transfer dynamics of Frenkel-exciton model. The PCA method clearly clarifies that two types of bath modes, which either display the strong vibronic couplings or have the frequencies close to electronic transition, are very important to the nonadiabatic dynamics. These observations are fully consistent with the physical insights. This conclusion is obtained purely based on the PCA understanding of the trajectory data, without the large involvement of pre-defined physical knowledge. The results show that the PCA approach, one of the simplest unsupervised machine learning methods, is very powerful to analyze the complicated nonadiabatic dynamics in condensed phase involving many degrees of freedom.
