In-Situ Supervisory System for Defect Mitigation for Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing

This system leverages hardware sensing equipment to gather data on an object under construction to identify and mitigate errors and defects. To identify and mitigate errors, the hardware equipment coordinates data with software that leverages image processing and computational geometry to compare the real-world object to the virtual, ideal object. Once these comparisons have been carried out, the printing process can be adjusted based on feedback so that the real-world object more closely matches the virtual, ideal object.
