摘要Defects in the metal 3-D printing process exhibit randomness and low frequency, making them difficult to predict and control. This severely hinders the application of this technology in critical industrial fields. Extracting useful features from massive process monitoring data to ensure forming quality has become a popular research direction for intelligent additive manufacturing practitioners. In this study, a coaxial machine vision monitoring system is utilized to monitor the entire forming process of the melt track. More importantly, this study constructed a high-speed video dataset of typical metal 3-D printing working conditions by changing the powder layer thickness, which can serve actual industrial production. To promptly recognize unhealthy melt tracks from massive process monitoring data, a 2-D transformer-based framework named super frame feature pyramid transformer (SFFPT) is designed for video classification. This framework transforms the video understanding task into a 2-D feature map processing task, allowing the video classification task to be completed directly using only an image classifier. In comparison to state-of-the-art methods, SFFPT achieves the best classification accuracy in this study.
