Abstract

Solid-state-based AFSD is a promising method towards defect-free additive manufacturing, as it reaches temperatures around half of the material's melting point. This technique is of particular importance in applications of high value, where intricate designs and costly materials are involved. Nevertheless, the challenges of manufacturing process parameters can lead to the formation of various defects. Thus, it is essential to detect and optimise these parameters.
