Abstract

The DEBS 2025 Grand Challenge (GC) focuses on real-time defect detection in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing. Participants must analyze streaming optical tomography images to identify temperature anomalies and cluster potential defects. The challenge defines a structured pipeline involving thresholding, temporal windowing, outlier analysis, and clustering. Solutions are evaluated using Challenger 2.1, a Kubernetes-based platform featuring REST APIs, containerized deployment, and fault-tolerance evaluations via Chaos Mesh. We also introduce Local-Challenger for local development and provide a Python reference implementation. Lastly, we report on the statistics of this year's GC. This edition of the GC advances the state-of-the-art in defect detection in manufacturing processes by fostering the development of high-performant, real-time, and fault-tolerant cloud-native solutions.
