The project aims to develop a prototype for an AI/ML application that simplifies additive manufacturing by making 3D printing a plug-and-play solution. The challenge is to create a virtual simulation environment where 3D printing processes can be accurately modeled and tested before being translated into real-world printing. This will help in identifying potential issues and optimizing the printing process, reducing material waste and improving efficiency. The goal is to leverage AI/ML algorithms to predict and simulate the outcomes of 3D printing tasks, ensuring successful real-world execution. The project will provide learners with an opportunity to apply their knowledge of AI, machine learning, and 3D printing technologies in a practical setting, enhancing their problem-solving and technical skills.

The deliverables for this project include a functional prototype of the AI/ML application capable of simulating 3D printing processes in a virtual environment. Additionally, a detailed report documenting the development process, challenges faced, and solutions implemented will be required. The prototype should demonstrate the ability to translate virtual simulations into successful real-world printing outcomes, showcasing the effectiveness of the AI/ML algorithms used.
