Prof. Mihaela Vlasea

November 29th, 2024 – 11am-12pm, EC4-2101A

Metal additive manufacturing processes have advanced form prototyping techniques, to full production-compatible systems. The first half of the presentation will introduce a brief history of additive manufacturing and a dive into metal additive manufacturing techniques with demonstrators. The second half of the presentation will introduce the Data Workflows and untapped opportunities, along with brief case studies on how machine vision can be used to optimize processes.
