我们提出一种概率框架,用于精确估计增材制造部件的尺寸。基于来自9次生产批次、两台设备、三种聚合物材料和两种零件构型的405个零件数据集,研究了五个关键设计特征。为同时建模设计信息与制造变异性,采用整合连续与分类变量的模型。针对偏差目标值(DFT)预测,比较了确定性与概率性机器学习方法。确定性模型在80%数据上训练,支持向量回归(SVR)达到接近工艺重复性的精度;为应对系统性偏差,采用高斯过程回归(GPR)和贝叶斯神经网络(BNNs)。GPR表现优异且可解释性强,而BNNs能同时捕获认知不确定性(epistemic)与随机不确定性(aleatoric)。我们对比两种BNN策略:一种平衡精度与不确定性捕获,另一种提供更丰富的不确定性分解但维度预测精度较低。结果表明,量化认知不确定性对稳健决策、风险评估与模型优化至关重要。我们讨论了GPR与BNN在预测性能、可解释性与计算效率上的权衡,强调模型选择应依据分析需求。结合确定性精度与概率不确定性量化,本研究为增材制造中的不确定性感知建模奠定坚实基础,不仅提升尺寸精度,也支持可靠的风险驱动设计策略,推动数据驱动制造方法发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We present a probabilistic framework to accurately estimate dimensions of additively manufactured components. Using a dataset of 405 parts from nine production runs involving two machines, three polymer materials, and two-part configurations, we examine five key design features. To capture both design information and manufacturing variability, we employ models integrating continuous and categorical factors. For predicting Difference from Target (DFT) values, we test deterministic and probabilistic machine learning methods. Deterministic models, trained on 80% of the dataset, provide precise point estimates, with Support Vector Regression (SVR) achieving accuracy close to process repeatability. To address systematic deviations, we adopt Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) and Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs). GPR delivers strong predictive performance and interpretability, while BNNs capture both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties. We investigate two BNN approaches: one balancing accuracy and uncertainty capture, and another offering richer uncertainty decomposition but with lower dimensional accuracy. Our results underscore the importance of quantifying epistemic uncertainty for robust decision-making, risk assessment, and model improvement. We discuss trade-offs between GPR and BNNs in terms of predictive power, interpretability, and computational efficiency, noting that model choice depends on analytical needs. By combining deterministic precision with probabilistic uncertainty quantification, our study provides a rigorous foundation for uncertainty-aware predictive modeling in AM. This approach not only enhances dimensional accuracy but also supports reliable, risk-informed design strategies, thereby advancing data-driven manufacturing methodologies.
