This approach is based on 3D printer-associated optical coherence tomography (3D P-OCT) and GCode information. This method generates a defect characterization map by comparing and analyzing the target model map from GCode information and the reconstructed model map from 3D P-OCT. The defect characterization map enables the detection of defects such as material accumulation, filament breakage and under-extrusion within the print path, as well as stringing outside the print path. The defect characterization map is also used for defect visualization, fidelity assessment and filament breakage repair during secondary printing. Finally, the proposed method is validated on different bionic models, printing paths and materials. The fidelity of the multilayer HAP scaffold with gradient spacing increased from 0.8398 to 0.9048 after the repair of filament breakage defects. At the same time, the over-extrusion defects on the nostril and along the high-curvature contours of the nose model were effectively detected. In addition, the finite element analysis results verified that the 60-degree filling model is superior to the 90-degree filling model in terms of mechanical strength, which is consistent with the defect detection results. The results confirm that the proposed method based on 3D P-OCT and GCode can achieve spatially resolved defect characterization and fidelity assessment in situ, facilitating defect visualization and filament breakage repair. Ultimately, this enables high-fidelity printing, encompassing both shape and function.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24113636","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,4]],"date-time":"2024-06-04T07:39:49Z","timestamp":1717486789000},"page":"3636","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Spatially Resolved Defect Characterization and Fidelity Assessment for Complex and Arbitrary Irregular 3D Printing Based on 3D P-OCT and GCode"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Bowen","family":"Fan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8147-9337","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shanshan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Medical Information and Biological 3D Printing, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]},{"given":"Ling","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Medical Information and Biological 3D Printing, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]},{"given":"Mingen","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Medical Information and Biological 3D Printing, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"172","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compositesb.2018.02.012","article-title":"Additive manufacturing (3D printing): A review of materials, methods, applications and challenges","volume":"143","author":"Ngo","year":"2018","journal-title":"Compos.
