Transfer learning/dictionary generation and usage for tailored part parameter generation from coupon builds

A system comprising:

• a part parameter dictionary module including a processor;
• and
• a memory storing program instructions, the part parameter dictionary module operative with the program instructions to perform the functions as follows:
• receive geometry data for a plurality of geometric structures forming a plurality of parts, wherein the parts are manufactured with an additive manufacturing machine;
• determine a feature set for each geometric structure;
• generate one of a coupon and a coupon set for the feature set;
• generate an optimized parameter set for each coupon via execution of an iterative learning control process for each coupon;
• map one or more parameters of the optimized parameter set to one or more features of the feature set;
• generate a dictionary of optimized scan parameter sets to fabricate geometric structures with a material used in additive manufacturing.

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 part parameter dictionary module comprising a processor, geometry data for a plurality of geometric structures forming a plurality of parts, wherein the parts are manufactured with an additive manufacturing machine;
• determining, using the processor of the part parameter dictionary module, a feature set for each geometric structure;
• generating, using the processor of the part parameter dictionary module, one of a coupon and a coupon set for the feature set;
• generating an optimized parameter set for each coupon, using the processor of the part parameter dictionary module, via execution of an iterative learning control process for each coupon;
• mapping, using the processor of the part parameter dictionary module, one or more parameters of the optimized parameter set to one or more features of the feature set;
• and
• generating a dictionary of optimized scan parameter sets to fabricate geometric structures with a material used in additive manufacturing.
