Layers of deposited material (steel or copper) were created using LAM. The quality of these layers was either good or unstable. The AEs were recorded using three sensors, one microphone, and two structure-borne sound probes. The recorded signals were processed and transformed using the fast Fourier method. Then models were trained with the processed data and evaluated using a fivefold cross-validation. Results show that it is possible to accurately classify the materials used during LAM (up to a balanced accuracy [BAcc] score of 0.99). Also, the process quality could be classified with a BAcc score of up to 0.81. Overall, the results are promising, but further research and data collection are necessary for a proper validation of our results.
