Abstract
Systems and methods for optical based monitoring of additive manufacturing processes are provided. In one example a method includes obtaining optical data representing a layer of a structure being manufactured using an additive manufacturing process, comparing the optical data with a standard optical representation associated with the structure, determining one or more nonconformance conditions between the optical data representing the layer and the standard optical representation, and implementing a control action based at least in part on the one or more nonconformance conditions.
