The idea of achieving mechanical self repair through sensor artificial intelligence and 3D printing

Abstract

With the industrialization of the world, the application of machinery in modern society is becoming increasingly widespread, with significant applications in production, scientific research, aerospace, and other fields. However, these machines are prone to malfunctions, which can impair their functionality, so it is necessary to do a good job of maintenance, which is usually done manually. However, manual maintenance has some limitations and may be difficult or inefficient in certain situations. in extreme environments such as space, machinery is difficult to maintain manually. If it needs to be repaired, there will be great risks and huge costs, and the self-repair of machinery can greatly reduce maintenance conditions in this process. Based on this, exploration was conducted on mechanical self-maintenance, and the possibility of relying on sensor AI and 3D printing technology to achieve mechanical self-maintenance was explored based on existing achievements. Proposed a concept of mechanical self-maintenance operation that combines these three elements to achieve the process of detection, diagnosis, and repair. And during this process, it was discovered that there are some difficulties that are currently difficult to solve in achieving mechanical maintenance To improve the efficiency of mechanical maintenance and reduce the difficulty of mechanical maintenance.
