Image-based dataset of artifact surfaces fabricated by additive manufacturing with applications in machine learning

A 2D Laser Profiler KEYENCE LJ-V7000 series is equipped above an FDM machine. After each layer deposition, the laser scanner acquires the 3D point cloud of the upper surface. Then the 3D point cloud is pre-processed to achieve the target surface of the part. Then the top surface is segmented from the point cloud and converted to a 2D depth image provided with this article.
