[0049] The material properties include the melting point, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient, laser absorption rate and crystallization characteristic parameters of the precious metal.
[0050] In this embodiment, by obtaining the geometric data, product data and material properties of the precious metal to be processed, a regional prediction model is established to perform functional partitioning and generate a partition mapping table, and a partition path library is pre-calculated and formed based on the partition characteristics, thereby realizing accurate partition processing path planning for complex structure precious metals and improving processing precision and efficiency.
[0051] The regional prediction model includes a feature extraction layer, a classification decision layer and a mapping generation layer.
[0052] The feature extraction layer extracts feature vectors from the geometric data and product data to obtain a comprehensive feature matrix containing spatial position, geometric complexity and product characteristics.
[0053] The classification decision layer classifies the comprehensive feature matrix to output region identifiers of the precision control area, the transition buffer area and the standard machining area.
[0054] The mapping generation layer associates the region identifiers with coordinates to generate a three-dimensional partition mapping table containing region types, boundary coordinates and priority information.
[0055] The acquisition process of the comprehensive feature matrix includes: converting the coordinate information in the geometric data into a three-dimensional space position vector, calculating the local geometric complexity indicators of the surface curvature radius and the overhanging angle; normalizing the wall thickness distribution and the local volume density to extract the structural compactness feature; encoding the overall size, roughness requirement and complexity level in the product data into a product feature vector; using a convolutional neural network to extract deep features of the space position vector, and fusing the geometric complexity indicators and the product feature vector through a fully connected layer to generate a comprehensive feature matrix, each row of which corresponds to a multi-dimensional feature description of a spatial sampling point.
[0056] The region prediction model is pre-trained in a supervised learning manner, and the training data set contains three-dimensional model data of the product to be processed. The training samples include: geometric feature data (surface curvature radius, wall thickness distribution, overhanging angle, local volume density), product specification data (overall size, roughness requirement, complexity level) and expert-labeled functional partition labels (precision control area, transition buffer area, standard machining area).
[0057] The pre-training process uses a deep convolutional neural network to convert three-dimensional geometric data into voxel grid input, and expands the training samples through data enhancement techniques (rotation, scaling, mirroring); the training uses the Adam optimizer with a learning rate of 0.001, a batch size of 32, and is trained for 300 rounds; it can accurately identify the functional partition of medical devices with different materials and different structural complexities, and provide a reliable basis for subsequent path planning.

[0059] The process of pre-computing and generating a processing path scheme according to the functional partition includes:
[0060] Based on the crystallization characteristic parameters of the product, the interlayer scanning direction progressive rotation strategy is designed, and the scanning direction rotation angle between adjacent layers is set to a first angle to a second angle.

Low-power, high-speed short-segment interlaced scanning is used in the precision control area, a step-size gradual transition scanning is used in the transition buffer zone, and a unidirectional parallel scanning is used in the standard processing area. The scanning path schemes for each area are stored in a data structure containing coordinate, power, and speed parameters to form a partitioned path library, thereby achieving high-precision and high-efficiency processing control.
[0065] An association prediction model is established to analyze processing tasks and material properties to obtain processing parameters. An initial processing path allocation scheme is generated based on these parameters. The product to be processed is then processed according to this initial scheme. During processing, the status parameters of the product are monitored. When these parameters deviate from a preset target range, the optimal processing parameters are calculated based on the functional zone and historical processing data to obtain adjustment parameters. A processing path scheme is then selected from the zone path library. A detailed structural diagram of the association prediction model is provided below. Figure 2 .

The training dataset includes: input features (geometric complexity index, material thermophysical parameters, structural thickness distribution, surface area to volume ratio) and output labels (optimal laser power, scanning speed, overlap rate and corresponding forming quality score).
[0067] The pre-training process employs a multilayer perceptron network structure with 5 hidden layers (256-128-64-32-16 neurons), using ReLU activation and Dropout regularization to prevent overfitting. The training data is divided into training, validation, and test sets in an 8:1:1 ratio. The mean squared error loss function is used, along with a learning rate decay strategy (initially 0.01, decreasing by 0.1 every 50 epochs), and the training is conducted for 200 epochs. The model's parameter prediction error on the test set is controlled within a preset range, enabling it to accurately predict the optimal process parameter range based on product characteristics, providing precise parameter guidance for actual production.
[0068] The association prediction model includes a data preprocessing layer, a feature association layer, and a parameter prediction layer;
[0069] The data preprocessing layer standardizes historical processing data, and extracts numerical features of processing power, processing speed, lap joint rate and forming quality.
[0070] The feature correlation layer establishes a nonlinear mapping relationship between processing data and product quality.
[0071] The parameter prediction layer obtains product quality according to the geometric data and material properties of the current processing task, and outputs the laser power range, processing speed range and lap joint rate value as processing parameters based on the product quality.

[0075] Linear transition sections of power and speed are set at the boundaries of adjacent regions, and the transition length is determined according to the boundary length; an initial processing path distribution scheme containing scan trajectory coordinates, time stamps and parameter change points is generated.
[0076] In this embodiment, the laser power and speed are determined according to the processing parameters, the line spacing and processing sequence of each functional partition are calculated, the processing is arranged according to the priority of precision control area, transition buffer area and standard processing area, and linear transition sections of power and speed are set at the boundaries of regions, to generate an initial path scheme containing scan trajectory, time stamp and parameter change point, to realize smooth connection and precision guarantee of processing.
[0077] The process of obtaining processing adjustment parameters includes:
[0078] By collecting the overall temperature distribution data of the processing area and the geometric contour data of the formed layer, when the overall temperature distribution deviates from the target temperature field preset temperature and / or the geometric contour deviation exceeds the preset deviation, the current processing parameters and deviation data are recorded;
[0079] Based on the statistical analysis method, the historical processing data are matched with parameters to obtain the laser power adjustment value, scanning speed adjustment value and path spacing adjustment value suitable for the next layer, which are used as the processing adjustment parameters.
[0080] In the embodiment, the temperature distribution and the geometric profile data of the processing area are collected to determine the deviation from the target temperature field and the preset geometric accuracy. When the deviation exceeds a threshold, the current parameters and the deviation information are recorded, and based on the statistical matching of historical successful cases, the laser power, scanning speed and path spacing adjustment values suitable for the next layer are obtained to realize targeted processing parameter optimization and improve the product accuracy and stability.
[0081] The state parameter monitoring adopts a multi-sensor fusion technology, including: arranging an infrared thermal imager array to monitor the temperature field distribution, a high-precision laser displacement sensor to monitor the geometric deformation, and an acoustic emission sensor to monitor the stability of the molten pool; establishing a sensor data fusion algorithm to perform time-space synchronization and weight distribution on multi-source sensor data; setting a sensor fault detection mechanism to automatically switch to a backup sensor or adjust the fusion weight when a single sensor is abnormal.
[0082] Compared with the existing single temperature or deformation monitoring scheme, the multi-sensor fusion monitoring technology can simultaneously obtain three key parameters of temperature field, geometric deformation and molten pool stability, improve the monitoring accuracy, and shorten the abnormal detection response time to milliseconds. The data fusion algorithm has time-space synchronization and weight self-adaptive capabilities, ensuring stable monitoring under different processing speeds, complex curved surfaces and high-reflectivity noble metal scenarios. The built-in sensor fault switching mechanism can maintain a monitoring coverage rate of >95% when the device is abnormal, greatly improving the system robustness and processing process quality consistency.
[0083] During the gap time after the current area processing is completed, the processing path of the next area is optimized and adjusted according to the processing adjustment parameters.
[0084] The specific process of pre-optimizing and adjusting the processing path of the next layer according to the processing adjustment parameters includes:
[0085] After each layer scanning is completed, the temperature distribution data, geometric accuracy data and surface quality data of the entire layer are collected; the processing path of the subsequent same type of functional partition is pre-optimized, and the optimization target is temperature uniformity and geometric accuracy;

[0087] In this embodiment, multi-sensor fusion is used to achieve comprehensive and accurate state monitoring, improving the real-time and reliability of anomaly detection. In the current regional processing gap, the next regional processing path is optimized according to the state parameters, and temperature, geometric accuracy and surface quality data are collected after each layer scanning. The path of the same type of function is pre-optimized, the partition path library is updated, and the optimization effect and actual results are recorded into the historical database to provide data support for offline training of the correlation prediction model and updating of the parameter library.
[0088] The optimization adjustment in the gap time adopts a multi-task parallel processing mechanism, including: establishing an optimization task queue, simultaneously executing three parallel tasks of current layer quality evaluation, next layer path pre-computation and alternative scheme generation; setting a task priority scheduler to dynamically allocate computing resources according to processing progress and deviation urgency; when a key deviation is detected, interrupt low-priority tasks and prioritize path re-planning tasks.
[0089] Compared with the existing sequential path optimization method, the multi-task parallel processing mechanism can improve the utilization rate of the inter-layer gap time, so that quality evaluation, path pre-computation and alternative scheme generation are completed simultaneously; the task priority scheduler can compress the response time to milliseconds when a key deviation occurs, realizing rapid path re-planning; in the scene of high complexity surface machining, large temperature gradient fluctuation or strict precision requirement, the system can still maintain stable optimization efficiency and processing quality, significantly improving the overall production rhythm and process adaptability. Through the multi-task parallel processing mechanism, the inter-layer gap time is fully utilized, the computing efficiency and response speed are improved, the system can complete more complex optimization calculation in limited gap time, and the overall machining efficiency and quality control ability are improved.
[0090] The dynamic optimization of the processing path adopts a reinforcement learning algorithm, including: establishing an agent model with processing quality as the reward function, current state parameters as input states and path adjustment strategies as action space; setting an experience replay mechanism to store historical optimization decisions and effect feedback; using a deep Q network algorithm to continuously learn the optimal path adjustment strategy, and setting an exploration-exploitation balance mechanism to avoid local optimal solution.
[0091] Compared with the traditional path adjustment technology relying on fixed rules, the reinforcement learning dynamic optimization method can adaptively learn the optimal strategy through the deep Q network, so that the path adjustment accuracy is improved by about 15%-25%, the processing quality fluctuation is reduced to within ±3%, the experience replay mechanism can efficiently utilize historical data, and the convergence speed is accelerated by about 30%, and the exploration-exploitation balance mechanism can effectively avoid falling into local optimization. In the scene of variable temperature field, high complexity geometry and multi-material mixed processing, it can continuously optimize itself, realize the generalization ability and long-term processing stability across tasks. The reinforcement learning algorithm can continuously learn and improve from historical processing experience, adaptively find the optimal path adjustment strategy, gradually improve the optimization effect as the processing task increases, and realize the self-evolution and intelligent level of the system.
[0092] The present application faces the noble metal to be processed, through obtaining its geometric data, product data and material characteristics, establishes a regional prediction model for functional partitioning, generates a three-dimensional partition mapping table containing type, boundary and priority, and pre-generates a partition path library of multiple scanning strategies combined with partition characteristics and crystallization parameters. Using the correlation prediction model to analyze the processing task, the processing parameters such as laser power, speed and overlap rate are predicted, an initial path scheme is generated according to the priority of precision control area, and in the processing process, based on the multi-sensor fusion technology, the temperature field, geometric deformation and molten pool stability are monitored in real time, when the state parameters deviate from the target range, the processing adjustment parameters are calculated combined with the functional partitioning and historical data, and the optimal path is dynamically selected. The system uses a multi-task parallel mechanism to complete quality evaluation, path pre-computation and alternative scheme generation within the interlayer gap time, and combines the reinforcement learning algorithm to continuously optimize the path adjustment strategy, improve the processing precision, efficiency and process stability, and realize the intelligent and high-quality processing of complex structures of noble metals. The overall process schematic diagram is shown in Figure 3 .

[0100] According to the characteristics of functional partition, a differentiated processing path scheme is pre-calculated, based on the crystallization characteristic parameters of titanium alloy, a progressive rotation strategy of interlayer scanning direction is designed, the rotation angle of scanning direction between adjacent layers is set to ensure the uniformity of grain structure and the isotropy of mechanical properties.
[0101] For the precision control area, the laser power is reduced to 70% of the rated power, the scanning speed is increased to 1200 mm / s, the line segment length is controlled in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 mm, and the geometric precision of the electrode connecting part is realized; for the transition buffer area, the transition scanning strategy with gradual change of scanning direction according to the preset step length is adopted to ensure smooth transition between different regions and avoid deformation or cracking caused by thermal stress concentration; for the standard processing area, the one-way parallel scanning strategy is adopted, and the scanning line spacing is set to ensure the processing efficiency while ensuring the forming quality; the scanning path scheme of each region is stored in a structured data format, including scanning trajectory coordinate sequence, corresponding laser power parameters and scanning speed parameters, forming a partition path library containing different combinations.

[0109] During processing, when the temperature distribution deviates from the target temperature field preset value by more than 8 degrees, or the geometric profile deviation exceeds 5 microns, the dynamic adjustment mechanism is triggered immediately; record the current specific processing parameters and deviation data, including deviation type, deviation value, occurrence time and spatial position.
[0110] Based on statistical analysis method, the successful processing cases in the historical database are intelligently matched to find historical cases with similar deviation patterns. The laser power adjustment value, scanning speed adjustment value and path spacing adjustment value suitable for the next processing layer are calculated by weighted average algorithm, which are used as processing adjustment parameters for subsequent processing; from the partition path library, select the processing path scheme that best matches the adjustment parameters to ensure that the adjusted processing parameters can effectively correct the deviation and maintain the stability of the processing quality.
[0111] In the interlayer gap time after each layer processing is completed, a multi-task parallel processing mechanism is used to fully utilize this time window, an optimized task queue containing three types of tasks: quality evaluation, path precalculation and alternative scheme generation is established, and the three tasks are executed in parallel to improve calculation efficiency.
[0112] The current layer quality evaluation task is responsible for analyzing the temperature distribution uniformity, geometric accuracy compliance rate and surface quality index of the just completed layer, the next layer path precalculation task predicts the optimal processing path for the next layer according to the current state, and the alternative scheme generation task prepares multiple sets of alternative path schemes for possible deviation conditions.
[0113] An intelligent task priority scheduler is set, which dynamically allocates computing resources according to the current processing progress and the detected deviation urgency; when a critical deviation (such as a geometric deviation exceeding 10 microns or a temperature deviation exceeding 15 degrees) is detected, the system interrupts the low-priority alternative scheme generation task and allocates computing resources to the path re-planning task to ensure timely response and processing of critical abnormalities.
[0114] The deep reinforcement learning algorithm is used to realize continuous optimization of the path adjustment strategy, an intelligent agent model of a reward function is established with the final forming quality as the core, the current temperature distribution, geometric accuracy and surface quality and other state parameters are taken as the input state space, and the laser power adjustment, scanning speed adjustment and path selection are taken as the action space. The experience replay mechanism is set to store the historical optimization decisions and the corresponding effect feedback data in the circular buffer, to provide rich training samples for the agent learning, and the deep Q network algorithm is used to continuously learn and update the optimal path adjustment strategy. The ε-greedy exploration-exploitation balance mechanism is set, the ε value gradually decreases from 0.9 to 0.1, so that the system can fully explore different strategies in the early learning stage and mainly use the learned optimal strategy in the later learning stage, effectively avoiding falling into a local optimal solution. After each layer of scanning is completed, the temperature distribution data, geometric accuracy data and surface quality data of the whole layer are collected; the processing path of the subsequent same type of functional partition is pre-optimized, and the optimization objective function considers the temperature uniformity and geometric accuracy as two core indicators. The genetic algorithm is used to search for the optimal parameter combination, the population size is set to 50, and the evolution number is set to 30 generations.
[0115] According to the pre-optimization calculation result, the candidate path scheme of the corresponding area in the partition path library is updated in real time, so that the path library always contains the latest optimization strategy. The detailed comparison data of the optimization result and the actual processing effect are recorded in the historical database, including the quality index change before and after optimization, parameter adjustment amplitude and optimization effect evaluation and other information, to provide high-quality data support for offline training of the correlation prediction model and continuous updating of the overall parameter library.
[0116] In the embodiment, by applying the complete technical solution to the actual manufacturing process of the titanium alloy shell of the cardiac pacemaker, high-precision and high-efficiency intelligent processing of the complex medical instrument structure is realized. The multi-sensor fusion technology provides comprehensive process monitoring capability, the multi-task parallel mechanism fully utilizes the interlayer time for optimization calculation, and the reinforcement learning algorithm realizes adaptive improvement of the processing strategy, so that the overall technical solution significantly improves the intelligent level and product quality stability of micro-size SLM processing.
