Deep Learning for Process-Structure-Property Relationship in Advanced Manufacturing

Understanding and controlling the process–structure–property relationship is central to advancing manufacturing. This talk presents AI/ML methods that study manufacturing processes and material properties through physically meaningful intermediate representations. We begin with droplet evolution modeling in inkjet printing, where diffusion-corrected neural operator learning characterizes process-level dynamics that govern material deposition and initial geometric fidelity.
