Artificial intelligence-driven material development for additive manufacturing: A critical review
Additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized material fabrication by enabling the production of complex structures with enhanced design flexibility and material efficiency. However, the development of AM-specific materials remains a critical challenge due to the unique process characteristics of AM. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), for example, machine learning and deep learning, have emerged as powerful tools in accelerating material discovery, optimizing process parameters, and improving material performance for AM. This review provides a comprehensive overview of AI-driven material development for AM, focusing on metals, polymers, and bioinks/biomaterial inks. The discussion encompasses AI techniques applied to material development, including predictive modeling, generative algorithms, and intelligent optimization methods. Data collection and pre-processing methodologies for AI applications in AM are discussed. In addition, the applications of AI in material development in AM are also reviewed. Finally, the review highlights emerging trends, such as AI-driven high-throughput material screening, integration of AI with multiscale high-fidelity simulations, the use of digital twins for real-time process control, and active learning strategies for optimizing material compositions. By summarizing recent advancements and outlining future directions, this review provides insights into the evolving intersection of AI and AM, paving the way for more intelligent and efficient material development in the next generation of manufacturing.
