Industrial AI & Decision Systems LMD / DED proof domain Decision support only

Manish Sharma Lab

AI for Laser Metal Deposition decisions you can verify.

I build inspection-aware AI frameworks, RFQ tools, and process-monitoring notes for LMD/DED, repair, cladding, and metal additive manufacturing - grounded in public Exafuse work and bounded by engineering evidence.

LMD Decision CockpitLMD Decision Brief v1.0No input tracking

Start with a rough LMD question. Leave with a brief.

Pick the situation, mark what is known, then expose missing information, risk flags, evidence needed, and an Exafuse review route. Inputs stay in this browser session only.

Public-safe dummy example: worn steel shaft near bearing seat.

Review the worked output, start your own brief here, or open the full workbench.

Repair damaged/worn part: start with LMD Repairability Quick Check. Not enough information. Missing information and risk flags remain visible in the brief.

Thesis: a signal is not proof

Sense -> Model -> Decide -> Verify

A signal is not proof. Process signals can support review. They do not replace inspection, testing, expert review, or release evidence.

Choose the path that matches your question

Repair decision Evaluate a worn or damaged component. Expose material, damage, access, finishing, and inspection gaps before repair claims harden. Start repair brief RFQ preparation Turn a rough request into a usable RFQ brief. Separate known facts, critical gaps, useful context, risks, and the next review action. Structure an RFQ Monitoring evidence Interpret a process signal without overclaiming quality. Connect monitoring context to inspection evidence and keep the release boundary visible. Review a signal Process selection Compare LMD with SLM / LPBF route signals. Start with part size, local deposition, feature complexity, tolerance, and qualification needs. Compare routes

Flagship assets

Start with the three LMD decision assets

These are the shortest route from a vague LMD/DED question to a structured decision-support workflow.

LMD Quality Evidence Ladder

Problem
Monitoring data is often treated as release proof.
Helps decide
Which evidence level is needed for a claim.
Cannot prove
Final part quality without inspection/testing.
 Open framework

LMD Repairability Index

Problem
Repair requests arrive before material, damage, access, and inspection facts are clear.
Helps decide
Whether a repair candidate is worth expert review.
Cannot prove
Repair feasibility, release, or service safety.
 Open index

LMD RFQ Toolkit

Problem
Vague RFQs hide missing facts and risk flags.
Helps decide
How to structure known facts, gaps, assumptions, and next questions.
Cannot prove
Replace Exafuse commercial review or engineering approval.
 Open toolkit

Public proof

Public proof that anchors the LMD/DED domain

Company-owned case details and RFQs belong to Exafuse. Manish Sharma Lab uses these only as public context for frameworks, monitoring, repairability, RFQ structure, and evidence boundaries.

Decision it helps
Helps decide how much evidence is needed before large-part LMD monitoring data becomes a defensible engineering discussion.
Source status
Source link pending until Exafuse production migration
What it proves
Public context for large-part LMD scale, monitoring, validation, and inspection planning in one documented Exafuse case.
What it does not prove
It does not prove that monitoring alone certifies quality or that this site can approve structural parts.
Related framework
LMD Quality Evidence Ladder
Decision pattern extracted
Large-scale LMD requires evidence planning, monitoring context, and an inspection boundary.

This is a pattern, not a transfer of feasibility.

Forging Hammer Repair

local wear repair
Decision it helps
Helps decide whether local wear repair should move into expert review instead of becoming an automatic repair claim.
Source status
Source link pending until Exafuse production migration
What it proves
Public context for local wear repair, material strategy, finishing, and release-evidence planning.
What it does not prove
It does not prove every hammer or safety-critical part is repairable.
Related framework
LMD Repairability Index
Decision pattern extracted
Local repair needs material, damage depth, machining route, and inspection plan.

This is a pattern, not a transfer of feasibility.

Latest field notes

Short technical notes for better LMD decisions

Focused explanations of the assumptions, evidence gaps, and review questions that often change an LMD/DED decision.

Height Is Not Cosmetic

Bead height, build-up height, and machining allowance affect tolerance, inspection, and repair planning.

A Camera Is Not a Certificate

A camera can show a process event, but inspection and acceptance evidence decide what the event means.

RFQs Fail When They Hide Risk

A useful RFQ makes missing material, damage, geometry, service, tolerance, and inspection facts visible.
