A Multi-Material and Multi-Scenario Dataset for Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing Operations

Smart manufacturing systems often use data to optimize production processes. Artificial intelligence algorithms can be used to tune the parameters of production recipes to achieve the desired results. Indeed, such algorithms will require to be trained by using data collected while executing manufacturing operations. However, the required sets of data are rarely available to most production companies. This work-in-progress paper introduces the Print+Mill dataset: a collection of data related to additive and subtractive manufacturing operations. The data are collected during the execution of various production recipes, utilizing different materials and process parameters. For each recipe, the dataset includes data on the materials and parameters used, sensor readings from the machinery, such as power consumption and temperature, and information on the quality of the resulting product. The data are collected in a complex research facility; in the future, we plan to extend the dataset by considering other manufacturing operations, materials, and types of field data.
