Sensor based smart segmentation

A system comprising:

• a segmentation module;
• a segmentation processor;
• and
• a memory storing program instructions, the segmentation processor and the segmentation module operative with the program instructions to perform the functions as follows:
• receive a defined geometry for one or more geometric structures forming one or more parts, wherein the parts are manufactured with an additive manufacturing machine;
• generate a build file including an initial parameter set to fabricate each part;
• fabricate the part based on the build file;
• receive sensor data for the fabricated part;
• generate a parameter set for each layer that forms the part, via execution of an iterative learning control process for each layer, wherein the part is formed from a plurality of successive layers;
• generate raw power data for each layer that forms the part based on the generated parameter set, wherein the raw power data is generated from a comparison of a reference thermal intensity to a thermal intensity received as part of the received sensor data for the fabricated part;
• apply a noise reduction process to the raw power data;
• and
• generate a segmented build file via application of the noise reduction process on the raw power data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, cause the computer processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, via a communication interface of a platform comprising a segmentation module and a processor, a defined geometry for one or more geometric structures forming one or more parts, wherein the parts are manufactured with an additive manufacturing machine;
• generating a build file including an initial parameter set to fabricate each part;
• fabricating the part based on the build file;
• receiving sensor data for the fabricated part;
• generating a parameter set for each layer that forms the part, via execution of an iterative learning control process for each layer, wherein the part is formed from a plurality of successive layers;
• generating raw power data for each layer that forms the part, using the processor, based on the generated parameter set, wherein the raw power data is generated from a comparison of a reference thermal intensity to a thermal intensity received as part of the received sensor data for the fabricated part;
• applying a noise reduction process to the raw power data;
• and
• generating a segmented build file, using the segmentation module, via application of the noise reduction process on the raw power data.
