Abstract
Additive manufacturing of metallic components presents challenges regarding quality assurance and consistency, owing to the workpiece's complex spatially-dependent temperature history and a lack of suitable models for closed-loop temperature control of the fabrication process. The selected case study is the laying of cladding material (workpiece) through Direct Laser Deposition. The paper proposes identifying a linear spatio-temporal parameter-varying model for the workpiece temperature for control-oriented applications. For this, the temperature distribution is reconstructed from data measured by an infrared camera. The model structure is derived from the inhomogeneous heat equation. Finally, the model parameters are identified using a nonlinear least-squares solver. The relationships between theoretical and estimated model parameters are presented.
