Abstract

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is an additive manufacturing technique that has gained significant attention due to its ability to produce complex geometries with high precision. However, the optimization of process parameters to achieve desired part quality remains a challenge. This paper presents a systematic review of machine learning (ML) methods applied to process parameter optimization in LPBF. The review covers key influential input parameters, in-situ sensors used in LPBF processes, and various ML approaches, including artificial neural networks (ANNs), and supervised, and unsupervised learning techniques. The paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of different ML approaches, highlighting their potential to improve the efficiency and quality of LPBF processes. Additionally, the review identifies challenges and future directions in this field, emphasizing the need for further research to develop more accurate and robust optimization strategies.
