“Machines should monitor and make adjustments on their own during printing to ensure that they create the right material properties during production.” Lockheed Martin has announced a two-year , $5.8 million collaboration with Lockheed to explore using AI to expand and improve the process of 3D printing complex industrial parts. By customising 3D printing robots, controlling them through new software and sensor modifications and gradually integrating machine learning techniques, the 3D organisations aim to improve the efficiency and functionality of the technology by creating machines which can independently make adjustments during the printing process. The collaboration will begin with work on Ti-6AI-4V , the most commonly used titanium alloy.
