Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting defects in a 3D printer, wherein the method includes: a) capturing a first image of a construction space of the 3D printer, wherein the construction space is a 3D printed part that is shown in the first image; b) generating a second image that has a higher spatial resolution than the first image out of the first image by using a spatial resolution increasing artificial neural network.
Claims14
A computer-implemented method for detecting defects in a 3D printer, comprising:
- a) capturing a first image of a construction space of the 3D printer, wherein the construction space comprises a 3D printed part that is shown in the first image;
- b) generating a second image that has a higher spatial resolution than the first image out of the first image by using a spatial resolution increasing artificial neural network, and
- d1) detecting in the first image possibly occurring defects in a powder bed that surrounds the part.
A computer-implemented method for detecting defects in a 3D printer, comprising:
- a) capturing a sequence of images of a construction space of the 3D printer, wherein the construction space comprises a 3D printed part that is shown in the images of the sequence;
- a1) combining the images of the sequence into a first image;
- b) generating a second image that has a higher spatial resolution than the first image out of the first image by using a spatial resolution increasing artificial neural network, and
- d1) detecting in the first image possibly occurring defects in a powder bed that surrounds the part.
