Abstract: Systems and methods for in-process monitoring of additive manufacturing are described. The systems and methods utilize a predictive model trained to identify anomalies within a component which have a likelihood of resulting in a manufacturing defect. The predictive model is trained at least by identifying one or more manufacturing anomalies relating to the additive manufacturing of a test coupon, identifying one or more manufacturing defects within the resulting test coupon, and performing registration between the one or more manufacturing anomalies and the one or more manufacturing defects. The predictive model is used to monitor additive manufacturing processes and optionally inform the updating of process parameters.
