Multiscale Data Treatment in Additive Manufacturing.

The article assesses the impact of data treatment on the possibility of assessing the morphological features of additively manufactured spherical surfaces. Tests were carried out on specimens manufactured by PBF-LB/M additive technology, using titanium-powder-based material (Ti6Al4V). The surface topography was assessed using one of the multiscale methods-wavelet transformation. The tests carried out on a wide spectrum of mother wavelet forms emphasized the occurrence of characteristic morphological features on the surface of the tested specimens. Moreover, the significance of the impact of specific metrology operations, measurement data processing and its parameters on the filtration result were noted. Comprehensive assessment of additively manufactured spherical surfaces with simultaneous analysis of the impact of measurement data processing is a novelty and fills a research gap relating to comprehensive surface diagnostics. The research contributes to the development of modern diagnostic systems allowing for a fast and comprehensive assessment of surface topography, taking into account the various stages of data analysis.
