Summary of FACAM 2019 Workshop



Co-organized by Prof. N. Anwer (ENS Paris-Saclay), Prof. C. Mehdi-Souzani (ENS Paris-Sacaly), and Prof. Q. Huang (USC), the third FACAM 2019 workshop was held on June 17th and 18th at ENS Paris-Saclay (Cachan).  Other than organizers, the participants include Dr. AF Obaton (LNE of French Metrology Institute), Prof. J. Liu (University of Arizona), Prof. R. Jin (Virginia Tech), Prof. M. Grasso (Politecnico di Milano), and graduate students  Zuowei Zhu, Yahya Al Meslem, Kevin Pereirrai (ENS Paris-Saclay), Baltej Rupal (ENS Paris-Saclay/University of Alberta), Saint-Clair Toguem Tagne (LNE/ENS Paris-Saclay), Charles Cayron(LNE), Yuanxiang Wang, Nathan Decker, and Chris Henson (USC).

Prof. Anwer opened the workshop by welcoming everyone and gave an introduction of the Advanced and Smart Manufacturing research at the LURPA research lab and AM Initiatives at ENS Paris-Saclay. Dr. Obtaton’s presentation introduced metrology challenges in AM and opportunities for statistical analysis and machine learning of metrology data. Prof. Grasso presented novel solutions for in-situ monitoring of metal AM. Baltej Rupal discussed geometric Benchmark test artifacts design for GD&T quantification. Dr. Huang presented a new convolution framework for learning and predicting shape accuracy in AM. Zuowei Zhu and Kevin Ferreira presented a data-driven Skin Model Shapes  and deep learning for AM. Nathan Decker ended the first day by presenting dimensional accuracy prediction using machine learning of triangular mesh data.  

On the second day of the workshop Prof. Liu presented the spatio-temporal modeling of photothermal curing process for glass printing. Prof. Jin discussed  data fusion for quality modeling in AM processes and network. Yuanxiang Wang, Nathan Decker, and Chris Henson presented a software prototype demo of cloud-based machine learning for 3D printing distortion control. In the afternoon session, Prof. Huang led the discussion on the collaboration opportunities and new research problems arising from the presentations and follow-up questions.  Prof. C. Mehdi-Souzani, Prof. Liu, Prof. Grasso, and Prof. Jin made great remarks (Prof. Anwer left earlier due to a conference). A whitepaper is expected to produced from the discussions. Prof. C. Mehdi-Souzani gave a warm concluding remark.
The FACAM 2020 workshop will be in USC. Looking forward to another productive and fun AM workshop!
