Abstract：Due to the complex lattice structure of 3D printing is prone to defects such as cracks, unfused or holes, and its seriously affect the functional performance of structural parts, a 3D visual inspection method for 3D printed defects in a complex lattice structure was studied. Based on gray value difference feature of internal defect in CT images of lattice structure, a class of defects were automatic identified and segmented by using the collective gray value method, and the segmented defect image sequence was 3D reconstructed by using ray-casting method. The experiment results showed that the method proposed can effectively obtained a three-dimensional view of a typical defect inside the lattice structure, and from which the shape and size of defect can be described. A strong basis for further analysis of the impact of defects on structural performance is provided.
