Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Additive layer Manufacturing (ALM) is a "3D printing" technique which develops products directly from their digital design data by the layer-wise addition of material. It is widely regarded as having great promise, especially for its capabilities to respond cost-effectively to changing customer demand and its ability to create objects with complex internal structure. At present a major difficulty holding back ALM is the problem of determining the extent to which the digital design has been correctly realized by the process: direct verification typically involves lengthy analysis of individual manufactured objects using Computed Tomography (CT) scans, tending to vitiate the advantages of ALM for general purposes. The purpose of this project is to explore methods by which this quality assurance process may be carried out more rapidly. The investigation will be carried out by a close collaboration between engineers and statisticians at Warwick using statistical techniques including random fields, false discovery rate methods, and ideas from stochastic geometry.
