The ability to additively deposit multifunctional materials has attracted significant interest. Such technologies can garner a potentially transformative opportunity in the development of multifunctional 3D structures. The printing of conductive interconnects, passive and active components, sensors, actuators, batteries, and antennas within 3D printed structures has been a growing focus of the additive manufacturing sector. One of the challenges associated with such manufacturing processes is the ability to monitor and perform corrective actions. The team at the University of Calgary and the international collaborator from Purdue University have teamed up to develop new monitoring methods utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) with aid of various sensors and fusion of sensor signals.This new AI-based monitoring approach can transform the manufacturing of smart devices that can sense and adapt to various stimuli, respond, and then revert to their original state. Various 3D printing processes are closely monitored using a variety of vision systems including IR cameras to monitor the processes. Early warnings of problems will be possible to acquire due to the AI monitoring scheme and the 3D printing system which will be adaptive to generate desired properties in terms of dimensional accuracy, mechanical and electrical properties. The collaborations between Canadian and US researchers will foster diverse HQP training environment with EDI frameworks. By exploring a rapid but precise integrated 3D printing technology with AI, the team can fully utilize the multifunctional aspects of 3D systems. This technology can also extend to other manufacturing processes and possibly enable new commercialization opportunities. The research will benefit Canada by the training of HQP with a variety of professional and technical skills.

添加沉积多功能材料的能力引起了人们的极大兴趣。此类技术可以在多功能 3D 结构的开发中获得潜在的变革机会。 3D 打印结构中的导电互连件、无源和有源元件、传感器、执行器、电池和天线的打印已成为增材制造领域日益关注的焦点。与此类制造过程相关的挑战之一是监控和执行纠正措施的能力。卡尔加里大学的团队和普渡大学的国际合作者联手开发利用人工智能（AI）并借助各种传感器和传感器信号融合的新监测方法。这种基于人工智能的新监测方法可以改变制造业可以感知和适应各种刺激、做出反应，然后恢复到原始状态的智能设备。使用各种视觉系统（包括红外摄像机）来密切监控各种 3D 打印过程。由于人工智能监控方案和 3D 打印系统将能够获得问题的早期预警，该系统将自适应地生成尺寸精度、机械和电气性能方面的所需性能。加拿大和美国研究人员之间的合作将通过 EDI 框架培育多样化的 HQP 培训环境。通过探索快速而精确的人工智能集成3D打印技术，团队可以充分利用3D系统的多功能性。该技术还可以扩展到其他制造工艺，并可能带来新的商业化机会。这项研究将通过对总部人员进行各种专业和技术技能的培训而使加拿大受益。
