Abstract

Recent progress in sensing techniques and data analytics tools have significantly accelerated the development of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) systems. This data-centric approach emphasizes leveraging sensor data available throughout the production process to optimize performance. Integration of extensive data analysis provides opportunities for improving precision, reducing waste, and enhancing the quality of produced parts. This method relies on AI/ML models and optimization techniques, which are developed using the data collected from various sources, including in-situ sensors, ex-situ imaging, and manufacturing process parameters. The quality and diversity of this data, along with the alignment between different data streams (achieved through spatiotemporal registration) are critical for the successful development of AI/ML and optimization models. In this work, we present a spatiotemporally registered dataset generated during the WAAM process of deposition of a rectangular block. The dataset includes a comprehensive description of the deposition process, process parameters, welding characteristics and acoustic data collected in-situ, and X-Ray Computed Tomography data of the build.
