This paper deals with the visualization of the previously simulated by the authors selective laser melting process in order to simplify the analysis of the results and the selection of technological parameters of the additive production unit. The article presents two possible approaches for visualization of the selective laser melting process and supported functions, which simplify the work and research in the framework of the new technology. In the twodimensional visualization mode, the emphasis is on the possibility of a more detailed study of the process. In a three-dimensional there is the ability of the broader scope and to see the big picture.

The paper presents a development of a software package for the implementation of industrial technology of selective laser melting. The developed software package allows us to solve the problems of organizing an effective production cycle for research and manufacturing of technically complex products of the aerospace, medical and engineering industries.

The work is devoted to solving the problems of machine vision and scientific visualization in the framework of the industrial implementation of new laser technologies, in particular the technology of selective laser fusion. The result of the development of a specialized machine vision platform is demonstrated, which makes it possible to simplify the solution of a wide range of machine vision and scientific visualization tasks. In the presented work, a number of particular issues of video recording of processes in isolated environments, determining the boundaries of objects in the image, analyzing and processing of visual data, forming and presenting a picture of heat distribution in a three-dimensional object, based on data obtained from the means of conducting a numerical experiment (calculation of the mathematical model of the process under study implemented by us) are also considered. The article also demonstrates the results of combining calculated data on the geometry of the product, data obtained by analyzing video data from visual observation tools, with thermal distribution data. This approach makes it easier for technologists to analyze the production process, identify critical areas, such as overheating and non-melting zones, and select the technological parameters of the selective laser melting process. The results of the application of the created platform in various production technologies are demonstrated.

This paper deals with the visualization of the previously simulated by the authors selective laser melting process in order to simplify the analysis of the results and the selection of technological parameters of the additive production unit. The article presents two possible approaches for visualization of the selective laser fusion process and supported functions which simplify the work and research in the framework of the new technology. The implemented approaches will reduce the requirements for the level of training of specialists working on Russian-made equipment. In the two-dimensional visualization mode, the emphasis is on the possibility of a more detailed study of the process. In a three-dimensional there is the ability of the broader scope and to see the big picture. Several implemented principles of geometry simplification for visual representation are considered. The advantages and disadvantages of the work done and the results obtained are presented.
