“…Generally, machine learning can be used in medical diagnosis, image processing, prediction, classification, etc. Recently, research on using machine learning in AM has also been published for AM process optimization [ 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 ], dimensional accuracy analysis [ 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 ], manufacturing defect detection [ 96 , 97 , 98 ] and material property prediction [ 99 , 100 , 101 ]. However, machine learning has not been applied to improving path planning strategies yet.…”
