Abstract
Estimation algorithms, methods, and systems are provided that estimate the internal temperatures inside of a part being built using powder bed fusion (PBF). Closed-loop state estimation is applied to the problem of monitoring temperature fields within parts during the PBF build process. A simplified linear time-invariant (LTI) model of PBF thermal physics with the properties of stability, controllability and observability is presented. In some aspects, an Ensemble Kalman Filter is applied to the model. Linear time-varying (LTV) systems are also contemplated.
