Quantification and compensation of thermal distortion in additive manufacturing: A computational statistics approach

In this work, we have developed a computational probabilistic method to quantify the permanent (non-zero strain) continuum/material deformation. Different from physical-based modeling, the method developed here is based on a data-driven statistics approach, which solves the problem without needing the information of physical deformation process. The proposed method relies only on the scanned material data from the thermal distorted configuration...
