Study of multi-modal learning-empowered effect analysis of process parameters on tensile properties of 3D-printed composites

  • 摘要: 熔融沉积成型(Fused Deposition Modeling,FDM)作为主流的增材制造工艺,因其成型效率高和结构轻量化等优势,在航空航天与医疗器械等高端领域得到广泛关注。然而打印参数对试件性能影响明显,且相互之间耦合复杂,难以准确建立参数与性能的映射关系。为解决这一问题,本研究提出了一种基于多模态卷积神经网络(Multi-modal Convolutional Neural Network,MM-CNN)的预测方法,通过融合不同类型的输入特征实现精准建模。以聚乳酸-碳纤维复合材料作为研究对象,系统研究层厚度、喷嘴温度、物料流量和打印速度四个关键打印参数对试件拉伸性能的影响规律。通过设计256组打印参数组合并开展拉伸试验,构建了由数值参数与图像表征组成的多模态数据集,将数据集带入模型中进行融合分析和性能预测。结果显示,该模型能够有效捕捉参数与性能的复杂非线性关系,并采用准确率、精确率、召回率以及F1分数对模型进行系统评估,各项得分均超过0.97,较传统卷积神经网络模型预测精度最高提升了18.9%。该方法不仅验证了多模态学习在FDM性能预测中的有效性,也为工艺优化与打印质量控制提供了新思路。

     

    Abstract: The fused deposition modeling (FDM) process, as a mainstream 3D printing technique, has attracted extensive attention in the field of additive manufacturing because of its high forming efficiency and lightweight advantages. However, printing parameters significantly influence the mechanical performance of specimens, and the complex interactions among them make it difficult to accurately establish a mapping relationship between parameters and performance. To address this issue, a prediction method based on a multi-modal convolutional neural network (MM-CNN) was developed, which achieves precise modeling by integrating different types of input features. Taking a polylactic acid–carbon fiber composite (CF/PLA composite) as the research object, this study systematically investigated the influence of four key printing parameters—layer thickness, nozzle temperature, material flow, and printing speed—on the tensile properties of printed specimens. A total of 256 parameter combinations were designed, and tensile tests were conducted to construct a multi-modal dataset composed of numerical parameters and image representations, which was then employed as input to the model for feature fusion and performance prediction. The results show that the proposed model effectively captures the complex nonlinear relationship between parameters and mechanical performance. The model was evaluated in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, and all the indicators remained above 0.95, representing an improvement of about 17.3% in prediction accuracy compared with traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) models. These findings demonstrate that the MM-CNN can effectively predict and optimize the mechanical performance of different parameter combinations, providing a reliable and generalizable approach for process optimization in FDM-based additive manufacturing.
