准确生成具备特定性能的几何结构是制造过程最重要的特征。3D打印虽具高度设计自由度,但易产生几何缺陷,需及时调整参数以维持稳定,这对专家也极具挑战。现有机器学习方法常忽略跨打印件的空间变化特征,难以生成理想几何。本文将打印件的体素表示编码为神经场,并提出一种新正则化策略:最小化场输出对单一不可学习参数的偏导数。该策略使输入微小变化仅引发输出小幅波动,促进观测体积间的平滑插值,从而可提取‘想象中’在未见参数下的3D形状。由此构建的连续场支持数据驱动优化,最大化预期与实际几何的一致性,减少后处理、材料浪费及生产成本。通过动态优化工艺参数,本方法助力先进规划,使制造商更高效实现复杂多特征设计。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The ability to accurately produce geometries with specified properties is perhaps the most important characteristic of a manufacturing process. 3D printing is marked by exceptional design freedom and complexity but is also prone to geometric and other defects that must be resolved for it to reach its full potential. Ultimately, this will require both astute design decisions and timely parameter adjustments to maintain stability that is challenging even with expert human operators. While machine learning is widely investigated in 3D printing, existing methods typically overlook spatial features that vary across prints and thus find it difficult to produce desired geometries. Here, we encode volumetric representations of printed parts into neural fields and apply a new regularization strategy, based on minimizing the partial derivative of the field's output with respect to a single, non-learnable parameter. By thus encouraging small input changes to yield only small output variations, we encourage smooth interpolation between observed volumes and hence realistic geometry predictions. This framework therefore allows the extraction of 'imagined' 3D shapes, revealing how a part would look if manufactured under previously unseen parameters. The resulting continuous field is used for data-driven optimization to maximize geometric fidelity between expected and produced geometries, reducing post-processing, material waste, and production costs. By optimizing process parameters dynamically, our approach enables advanced planning strategies, potentially allowing manufacturers to better realize complex and feature-rich designs.
