摘要

Additive manufacturing (AM), particularly laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LM), enables the fabrication of complex honeycomb lattice structures for aerospace and biomedical applications. However, achieving consistent surface roughness remains a key challenge, affecting functional performance. This study employs deep learning (DL) models, convolutional neural networks (CNN), deep neural networks (DNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent units (GRU), bidirectional GRU (Bi-GRU), and transformers, to predict surface roughness in PBF-LM fabricated honeycomb lattices. A comprehensive dataset integrating geometric, process, and material parameters was used for training and evaluation. Root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) were used to assess predictive accuracy under tenfold cross-validation. CNN and DNN achieved the best generalization, with cross-validated MAPE values of 1.53% and 1.55%, respectively, confirming their reliability and computational efficiency. Bi-GRU and GRU showed moderate performance, while LSTM demonstrated higher variability across folds. The Transformer model, although promising in isolated tests, exhibited significant overfitting with a MAPE exceeding 86%, making it unsuitable for data-limited scenarios. These findings highlight the potential of DL architectures for process optimization, enabling improved manufacturing control and quality assurance in PBF-LM. This research contributes to the integration of AI-driven predictive modeling in AM workflows, facilitating high-precision, cost-effective production of lattice structures with enhanced surface properties.
