In an approach for early notification of degradation of 3D printed parts, a processor completes an initial scan of a 3D printed part using backscatter techniques when the 3D printed part is installed and idle in the unit. A processor completes a second scan of the 3D printed part using backscatter techniques when the unit is in operation. A processor determines a baseline delta between the initial scan and the second scan. A processor performs an additional scan after a preset time interval of the 3D printed part using backscatter techniques in operation within the unit. A processor determines whether the additional scan is within the baseline delta.

A circuit forming method for forming a circuit with a curable resin and a conductive fluid, the method including a setting step of setting errors that occur during a circuit forming work to an automatic release error and a non-release error for each type of error, the automatic release error being to be automatically released, and the non-release error being not to be automatically released, a determination step of determining whether an error has occurred in work when the circuit is formed, and a re-execution step of automatically re-executing work determined that the error has occurred in the determination step, in a case where the error of the work is set to the automatic release error in the setting step.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to collecting, by a computer system, sensor data of a manufacturing system, the sensor data being measured at intervals smaller than a time interval of a target measurement of the manufacturing system. The sensor data is determined to have a relationship to the target measurement. A synthetic target measurement is generated at an interval smaller than the time interval based on the relationship. An advance warning is automatically generated for the target measurement based on the synthetic target measurement within the interval smaller than the time interval.

A method of measuring quality in a machining operation of a device includes measuring lost motion for at least one axis of the device during the machining operation, calculating a spindle lag of a spindle of the device during the machining operation, determining a lost motion deviation, determining a spindle lag deviation, and identifying a machining defect based on the lost motion deviation coinciding with the spindle lag deviation.
