Abstract
Addressing the uncertainty and variability in the quality of 3D printed metals is crucial for widespread adoption of this technology. This paper presents an in situ approach for accelerated process development using video vision transformers and high-speed imaging to monitor molten metal dynamics during laser-metal interactions. This method enhances accuracy, is adaptable to existing commercial machines, and demonstrates generalizability across different alloys.
