Researchers have developed a novel graph-augmented segmentation method to improve in situ inspection of complex shapes in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing. This approach utilizes a Graph Neural Network embedded within a U-Net architecture to preserve global geometrical information, overcoming limitations of pixel-wise methods that are sensitive to industrial lighting and layer variations. The technique demonstrates enhanced consistency and accuracy in reconstructing geometries, showing promise for robust industrial inspection and verification of L-PBF produced parts. AI
