Manufacturing inspection systems and associated methods

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to collectively execute an inspection environment operable to:

• access feature information associated with a component design, the feature information including a unique identifier assigned to a respective geometric feature of the component design;
• access one or more inspection criterion associated with the unique identifier;
• access process information obtained during manufacturing of a physical instance of the respective geometric feature according to one or more manufacturing parameters;
• generate, using a machine learning model, a prediction of whether the physical instance of the respective geometric feature meets the one or more inspection criterion based on the process information;
• and
• generate an indicator associated with the prediction.

A method for inspecting a component comprising:

• accessing feature information associated with a component design including a geometric feature associated with a respective unique identifier;
• accessing one or more inspection criterion associated with the unique identifier;
• manufacturing a physical instance of the respective geometric feature of a component according to one or more manufacturing parameters;
• accessing process information obtained during the manufacturing that is associated with the unique identifier;
• generating, using machine learning, a prediction of whether the physical instance of the respective geometric feature meets the one or more inspection criterion based on the process information and/or the one or more manufacturing parameters;
• and
• accepting or rejecting the physical instance of the component based on the prediction.
