Prediction of CNC Manufacturing Time Under Real-World Conditions Using Graph Convolutional Networks
摘要
In this work, we share our learnings on predicting CNC manufacturing time given CAD models from a real-world dataset using machine learning models. To minimize prediction cost, we focus on extracting relevant information solely from the CAD model, eliminating the need for manual feature labeling. Our experiments reveal that a combination of hand-crafted features with those automatically extracted by the graph convolutional network UV-Net yields the most accurate predictions. Notably, our model exhibits robust performance when applied to a newer, higher-quality dataset, achieving a significant improvement of 32% in mean absolute error compared to a rule-based approach despite the challenges posed by temporal and data quality shifts.
