The 3D Generative Pre-trained Transformer has been trained with 12K scientific additive manufacturing papers
Software company Authentise has released 3DGPT, an Artificial Intelligence tool which allows users to ask any questions on AM.
With 3DGPT, users can ask any question – from general ones such as “What additive technologies can I use to 3D print concrete?”, to more specific ones such as “How do I reduce the likelihood of defects when working with Stainless Steel in powder bed fusion?” – and receive intelligent answers rooted in deep industry knowledge in return. The answers utilise both the knowledge contained within the journal articles and standards, as well as the general knowledge on which OpenAI’s ChatGPT is built. Uniquely, the tool provides references to its more technical answers, providing users the chance to scrutinise 3DGPT’s answers.
“AI is evolving at an incredible pace and it’s time for the additive community to see how it can benefit. Authentise has always focused on integrating the world’s best algorithms into its workflows, and we’re delighted to be the first to teach Large Language Models decades worth of additive knowledge,” says Andre Wegner, CEO. “Personally, I’ve been continually astounded by the know-how in the industry. It’s a pleasure to help make that more accessible, but it’s clearly just the start. There are many ways we think that this tool might be useful inside our product portfolio – whether it’s to help create reliable and efficient workflows or make RFQ’s with many standards references more penetrable. Before that – we, Authentise as well as partners such as ASTM, naturally need to understand the technology’s opportunities and limits; we know that GPT algorithms sometimes hallucinate, for instance. Releasing this at TCT360, an event which epitomises knowledge sharing, will help us understand how people will and want to use 3DGPT.”
Please note that the platform is still at an experimental phase. For accurate insights into AM, you should always refer to trade media, scientific papers and AM experts. You can try the platform here.
Innovate UK supported the development of 3D GPT through SAMRCD.
