Can machines truly "See" like humans? 🤖 Imagine a 3D printer that can detect errors instantly, without an operator’s constant watchful eye. That's what this project from TRAIL - TRusted AI Labs is bringing to the table with AI-driven quality control that thinks (and sees!) like a human? 🎯 Led by Sirris’ Marouene Oueslati, PhD, this innovation uses a camera and smart algorithms to identify issues layer by layer, capturing data every 30 seconds to ensure flawless prints and minimal waste. Think: fewer errors, less material waste, and real-time alerts to your phone. 📲 Read the article to see how this tech is reshaping quality control in 3D printing and beyond. And get a peek at what’s next, like using Generative AI for synthetic data to keep costs down while pushing accuracy to new heights. 👉 Eng: https://lnkd.in/eWeSrjT9 👉 Nl: https://lnkd.in/eqca_j75 👉 Fr: https://lnkd.in/eJpBUCCp #3DPrinting #AI #QualityControl #Manufacturing #Innovation #InnovationForward #GenAI #AIinManufacturing #Trail #TrailWallonie
