In-situ Porosity Detection in Additive Manufacturing
Paper in proceeding, 2025

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a rapidly growing technology with applications in aerospace, automotive, and medical industries. Scalable AM requires in-situ quality monitoring to detect defects promptly. However, in-situ monitoring introduces scalability challenges due to high data volumes, rapid acquisition rates, and strict latency requirements. We introduce Hephaestus, a continuous in-situ monitoring system for data streams from optical monitoring sensors, able to detect porosity risks promptly and to balance accuracy and timeliness by adjusting the window of data used for porosity detection. Using data from two builds, we study this trade-off and the method's cost-benefit towards early cancellation decisions.
