Project Outline
|
Wire-fed EBAM offers significant advantages, including faster manufacturing processes, the ability to stop and start builds as needed, and the capability to produce large components. These features make wire-fed EBAM an attractive option for producing high-performance tungsten components. However, the calibration process remains a significant challenge, often leading to wasted materials and increased costs if not properly managed.
The work carried out during this PhD focuses on developing an in-process AI inspection system that automates the calibration and quality assurance procedures for wire-fed EBAM. This system will ensure consistent beam quality and build performance, reducing the need for manual intervention and minimising errors.
