Abstract

Examples of methods are described herein. In some examples, a method includes determining a graph representation of a three-dimensional (3D) object. In some examples, the graph representation includes nodes and edges associated with the nodes. In some examples, each node includes a temperature profile attribute. In some examples, the method includes predicting, using a machine learning model, a deformation of the 3D object based on the graph representation.

Claims (26)

1 . A method, comprising:

determining a graph representation of a three-dimensional (3D) object, wherein the graph representation comprises nodes and edges associated with the nodes, wherein each node comprises a temperature profile attribute; and

predicting, using a machine learning model, a deformation of the 3D object based on the graph representation.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature profile attribute is a global factor.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature profile attribute comprises a vector of temperatures.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the vector of temperatures comprises temperature change rates.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the vector of temperatures comprises a stage duration.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising encoding, using a second machine learning model, a vector of temperatures to produce the temperature profile attribute.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the second machine learning model is a multilayer perceptron model.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the second machine learning model is a recurrent neural network (RNN) model.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the RNN model comprises a long short-term memory (LSTM) layer or a gated recurrent unit (GRU) layer.

10 . An apparatus, comprising:

a memory;

a processor in electronic communication with the memory, wherein the processor is to:

simulate sintering of voxels to produce an initial simulated deformation;

determine a graph based on the initial simulated deformation, wherein the graph comprises nodes and edges, wherein each node comprises a temperature profile attribute; and

predict a subsequent deformation based on the graph.

11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor is to encode a vector of temperatures to produce the temperature profile attribute.

12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processor is to predict the subsequent deformation using a machine learning model trained with a second machine learning model to encode the vector of temperatures.

13 . A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium comprising instructions when executed cause a processor of an electronic device to:

generate, based on voxels representing a three-dimensional (3D) object model, a plurality of nodes of a first graph;

encode, using a machine learning model, a vector of temperatures to produce a temperature profile attribute;

append the temperature profile attribute to the plurality of nodes of the first graph; and

predict, using a graph neural network, a second graph based on the first graph.

14 . The non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the machine learning model is a multilayer perceptron model or a recurrent neural network model.

15 . The non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the vector of temperatures comprises temperature change rates.
