FABRICATED SHAPE ESTIMATION FOR DROPLET-BASED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES WITH UNCERTAINTY

摘要

A plurality of scanned prints of a product part and a scan-path are received. A shape of a minimum printable feature of the product part is determined by analyzing the respective prints in a scan-path representation. A manufacturing error of the minimum printable feature is determined based on the analysis. A manufacturing error of a shape of the part is determined based on the determined manufacturing error of the minimum printable feature. An estimated manufactured shape of the part is produced based on the determined manufacturing error of the part.
