The proposed VIRL (Volume-Informed Representation Learning) approach pre-trains a 3D geometric encoder to aid in manufacturability tasks where data can be limited. The model is evaluated across four manufacturability indicators, including subtractive machining time, additive manufacturing time, residual von Mises stress, and blade collisions during Laser Power Bed Fusion process. Results show that the VIRL-pretrained model exhibits improved generalizability with limited data and superior performance with larger datasets. Additionally, the LoRA (Low-rank adaptation) method is explored for deployment strategy, which balances probing and finetuning to achieve stable performance.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
VIRL is a new way to prepare computer models for making things. It helps them learn from little data by using information about shapes and volumes. The model was tested on four different manufacturing tasks and showed it can make good predictions with small amounts of data or larger amounts of data. Another method called LoRA helped the model make even better predictions when there was some extra information available. This could be useful for making things like airplanes, cars, and machines.
