Abstract
According to an example, a computing apparatus may include a processing device and a machine readable storage medium on which is stored instructions that when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to access, from a sensing device, information pertaining to formation of a part of a 3D object in a layer of build materials upon which fusing agent droplets have been or are to be selectively deposited. The instructions may also cause the processing device to predict, based upon the accessed information, a quality of the part and output an indication of the predicted quality of the part.
Claims15
A computing apparatus comprising:
- a processing device;
- a machine readable storage medium on which is stored instructions that when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to:
- access, from a sensing device, information pertaining to formation of a part of a 3D object in a layer of build materials upon which fusing agent droplets have been or are to be selectively deposited;
- predict, based upon the accessed information, a quality of the part;
- and
- output an indication of the predicted quality of the part.
A method comprising:
- accessing, by a processing device and from a sensing device, information pertaining to formation of a part of a 3D object in a layer of build materials upon which fusing agent droplets have been or are to be selectively deposited;
- predicting, by the processing device, based upon the accessed information, a quality of the part;
- determining, by the processing device, that an issue exists with the part based upon the predicted quality;
- and
- at least one of implementing, by the processing device, a solution to the issue and outputting, by the processing device, an indication of the predicted quality of the part in response to the determination.
A non-transitory computer readable medium on which is stored machine readable instructions that when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- access, from a sensing device, information pertaining to formation of a part of a 3D object in a layer of build materials upon which fusing agent droplets have been or are to be selectively deposited;
- predict, based upon the accessed information, a quality of the part;
- determine that a potential problem exists with the part based upon the predicted quality;
- and
- at least one of implement a solution to the determined potential problem and output an indication of the predicted quality of the part.
