Contributions of Information and communication technologies to industrialization of additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing is in clear progress in the field of civil engineering construction, essentially boosting by the development of new information and communication technologies. For better industrialization of the use of this technique, in-situ control of products manufactured along the production line is a major issue. In this work we were able to supervise the quality of printed object along the process by comparing the target values and those measured by image processing obtained by a camera installed in the printing device. We have developed a program that allows us to measure the deformations of the different layers and thus to assess the difference between the values of the target ratings and those achieved. This deviation is defined as a criterion for validating piece conformity and can also be used to adapt the process parameters
