Abstract
A method of custom print mode generation in a three-dimensional (3D) printing device may include printing a plurality of parts with a plurality of 3D printing devices, the parts each being printed using different process parameters, and capturing a plurality of images of the parts. The method may also include, with an image analysis module, analyzing the images to classify the parts into a plurality of defect gradings, and adjusting a number of the process parameters based on characteristics of the parts identified by a user as undesirable. The examiner may also include, with a recommending module, creating a custom print mode based on the parts defect gradings and adjusted process parameters.
