This article presents an overview of the emerging themes in Autonomous Materials
Discovery and Manufacturing (AMDM). This interdisciplinary field is garnering a growing …

While AI and imaging technologies are dramatically transforming the process and machine
condition monitoring, product inspection remains confined to probing the geometry and …

While much of additive manufacturing (AM) research is focused on microstructure, material
properties, and defects, there is much less research in regards to understanding how well …

This work is concerned with providing a principled decision process for stop** or tool-
changing in a surface finishing process. The decision process is supposed to work for …

We present experimental evidence for a new mechanism for how smooth surfaces emerge
during repetitive sliding contacts, as in polishing. Electron microscopy observations of Ti-6Al …

Polishing of additively manufactured products is a multi-stage process, and a different
combination of polishing pad and process parameters is employed at each stage. Pad …

Quality control procedures are fundamental to any manufacturing process to ensure that the
product conforms to a defined set of requirements. To meet the ever-growing demand for …

We report a novel magnetic concentration setup for localized finishing of freeform surfaces
based on employing electropermanent magnet arrays configured using a recently …

In the realm of industrial manufacturing, product inspection remains a significant bottleneck,
with only a small fraction of manufactured items undergoing inspection for surface defects …

Many industrial components, especially those realized through 3D printing undergo surface
finishing processes, predominantly, in the form of mechanical polishing. The polishing …
