Abstract Scope |
Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is a manufacturing process, and just like the multitude of manufacturing processes in which the process can be drastically improved by applying modern feedback control methods, L-PBF is in need of process control. However, our group and others have previously shown that the large, multi-dimensional system scale and fast time scale of L-PBF make advanced control a formidable challenge that has precluded step-changes in capabilities in the past. However, if we rethink the process and controller design, we believe that L-PBF quality and performance can be improved in a materials and part geometry agonistic manner. This paper will present current efforts in state estimator and state feedback design, which we have shown to work experimentally and in simulation, respectively, and provide a proposal for improving the simplicity and computational efficiency of these methods to make real-time feedback of temperature in L-PBF a reality. |
