Agentic-SLS-ASTM

ASTM mechanical-test specimens (D638 tensile, D790 flex) printed on the Inova Mk1 SLS printer and pulled on an MTS / TestWorks Instron. Each row is a single specimen with full geometry, scalar results, stress–strain + raw DAQ curves, and — for SLS rows — FK references and an embedded snapshot of the upstream print profile from ppak10/Agentic-SLS-Database.

Rows are self-contained for ML use: the full PrintProfile JSON is inlined, so features (material/energy profile) and target (mechanical response) live on the same row.

from datasets import load_dataset
tensile = load_dataset("ppak10/Agentic-SLS-ASTM", "D638", split="train")
flex    = load_dataset("ppak10/Agentic-SLS-ASTM", "D790", split="train")

Figure style. All figures share one house style (ported from the AdditiveLLM2-OA figures): DM Sans typeface, framed axes with inward ticks, a light dashed grid, and dual PNG (dpi 1200) + vector PDF export. The SLS batches are colored by an ordered orange ramp (gold → deep brown, in print chronology, built around #F97415); the FormLabs PA12GF benchtop reference is drawn in a contrasting blue so it reads clearly as the external benchmark.

Batch clusters

Replaces the old overlaid composite (which, at 76–80 curves, was unreadable). Each specimen collapses to a single point at its stress–strain peak — x = strain at peak, y = ultimate strength — and each batch becomes a ±1 SD confidence ellipse (covariance-based) around its specimens' peak points. This carries the headline ultimate-strength number and shows how tightly each batch clusters, with none of the overlaid-curve clutter. (Peak is derived as max(stress) over the saved curve, not read from PeakStress — TestWorks often leaves that scalar null for D638 tensile.) Groups with fewer than 3 specimens draw a connecting segment or a bare marker instead of an ellipse.

Per-batch detail

To read the actual stress–strain curves for one batch without cross-batch clutter, each batch (plus the FormLabs PA12GF reference) gets its own figure under assets/batches/ — {standard}_{batch}.png — with each specimen individually colored and keyed by sample_id in the legend. Two examples:

D638 Batch C (tensile)	D790 Batch E (flex)

Broken-out controls & specimen types

Materials/geometries that don't belong on the batch comparison get their own axes. PLA/PETG filament controls (D638 only) print at much higher stress/strain than either PA12 material; the FormLabs Nylon 12 White control is a second, distinct reference material; and Batch M's 12 Type IV (narrow-section) tensile specimens have a different gauge geometry than its Type I dogbones.

PLA/PETG controls (D638 only — D790 has no filament controls; PLA in blue, PETG in teal):

FormLabs Nylon 12 White control:

D638 (tensile)	D790 (three-point flex)

The D638 export is a raw load/extension curve with no gauge length in the file itself — strain/stress are derived using a user-confirmed 25mm extensometer starting length (gauge_length_mm set explicitly in 31_2026_07_23_tensile_nylon12white_fl.py, not read from the xlsx).

Batch M Type IV (narrow-section) tensile specimens, D638 only — each of the 12 specimens is individually labeled (1-6, 8-11, 13-14; specimen numbers 7 and 12 aren't part of this xlsx export, per the lab's own numbering) rather than grouped into one legend entry:

Regenerate with uv run scripts/plots/01_controls.py.

Batch averages (SLS Nylon 12 GF only)

One mean stress-strain curve per SLS batch, ± 1 sample standard deviation across specimens (shaded band), for our own Inova Mk1 SLS Nylon 12 GF prints plus the FormLabs PA12GF reference (in blue) — PLA/PETG and the Nylon 12 White control are excluded (their own figures). Each specimen is first trimmed at its stress peak (loading branch only), then linearly interpolated onto a common strain grid bounded by the shortest specimen's peak strain in that batch, so every point in the mean is backed by the same specimen count and no fracture-branch spike distorts the band. See scripts/plots/02_batch_averages.py for the full averaging method (including why one D790 specimen — a degenerate 3-point curve — is dropped from its batch's average).

D638 (tensile)	D790 (three-point flex)

The same mean ± 1 SD banding is also rendered for the FormLabs Nylon 12 White control on its own (excluded from the figure above for the same reason as its raw-curve figure — see Composite stress–strain):

Configs

Config	Description	Files
D638 (default)	Tensile specimens (ASTM D638 Type I, plus 12 Type IV specimens in batch M). 87 SLS (batches A–N) + 3 PLA + 3 PETG + 5 FormLabs PA12GF + 5 FormLabs Nylon 12 White = 103 rows. Batches A–J/J_MB have Database FKs; K–N don't yet (print jobs not backfilled).	data/D638/*.jsonl (one row per file)
D790	Three-point flex specimens (ASTM D790 Procedure A). 71 SLS rows (batches C–N) + 5 FormLabs PA12GF + 5 FormLabs Nylon 12 White = 81 rows. Batches C–J/J_MB have Database FKs; K–N don't yet.	data/D790/*.jsonl (one row per file)

One JSONL file per specimen — SLS rows are named after their sample_id (e.g. data/D638/A1.jsonl, data/D790/E10.jsonl); non-SLS controls use {material}_TSR{n}.jsonl (e.g. data/D638/PLA_TSR6.jsonl, data/D790/PA12GF_FL_TSR1.jsonl). Both configs share the same row schema and are produced by the per-session scripts under scripts/specimens/.

Specimens are labeled with a sample_id of the form {batch_label}{seq} (e.g. A1, C7), where the batch label identifies the print batch they came from. Batch labels are usually a single letter, but J / J_MB are the same 2026-07-06 print batch split by post-processing: J specimens were tested as-printed, J_MB specimens were media blasted before testing. The same sample_id may appear in both configs — C1 in D638 and C1 in D790 are different physical specimens that came from the same Batch C print.

TSR11 in Batch E 3pt test/ exists on disk but has empty Data/ (aborted run, no DAQ scans) and no corresponding xlsx sheet — it is excluded from the JSONL. TSR4 in Batch I flex (Flex 6-30/) is excluded for a similar reason: test_end_reason is "Test Stopped" rather than a detected break.

Batches K, L, M, and N (2026-07-15 through 2026-07-23) have no raw TestRuns//h5 folders at all — only TestWorks xlsx exports were handed off, so all of these rows are xlsx_only (see scripts/specimens/_lib.py's build_row_from_xlsx). Batch M's 12 Type IV specimens are a narrow-section ASTM D638 geometry (6mm × 4.15mm vs Type I's 12.8mm × 3.1mm) from the same print as its 5 Type I specimens — same batch_label, distinguished by astm.type. The FormLabs Nylon 12 White tensile control's xlsx export is a raw load/extension curve with no gauge length in the file — strain/stress_pa are derived using a user-confirmed 25mm extensometer gauge length declared in the script itself (see Composite stress–strain above); its flex counterpart derives normally via the D790 chord formulas.

Batch H's 5 flex specimens (2026_06_30/Flex 6-30/) don't have a raw TestRuns folder — it looks like it was overwritten when the Batch I TestWorks project reused the same default TST1.Test name in the same directory. flex_h_6.30.xlsx is the only surviving record, so those 5 rows are built from that xlsx export alone: the raw load/extension curve (curves.load_n/curves.extension_m) comes from its embedded columns, but curves.strain/curves.stress_pa are empty and several metrics fields (modulus_pa, strain_at_peak, strain_at_yield, etc.) are null, since deriving them requires the support span, which this export doesn't surface. See each row's notes field.

Notes on results

• sample_id and batch_label are null for non-SLS control rows (PLA, PETG, FormLabs PA12GF — they didn't come from an SLS print batch). Filter on material_class == "SLS" to get the rows that link back to Database.
• Batches E–I currently have job_id, print_profile_id, object_hash, and print_profile_snapshot all null — their source print jobs aren't in Database yet. The mechanical results are still valid.
• metrics.peak_* and metrics.*_at_break are often null in the D638 tensile rows because TestWorks did not detect a peak/break point on those runs. D790 flex rows have these fields more consistently populated. The curves.stress_pa / curves.strain arrays are populated regardless, so consumers can re-derive peak/break with their own criteria.
• Batch H's flex rows (data/D790/H1.jsonl–H5.jsonl) are the one exception: their raw TestRuns folder is missing (see Test sessions covered above), so they're built from the TestWorks xlsx export alone. curves.strain/curves.stress_pa are empty and most metrics fields are null for these 5 rows specifically — check notes on a row before assuming a null metric means TestWorks failed to detect it.
• notes is a free-text field, empty for most rows; it's used to flag exceptions like the Batch H flex sourcing above or the FormLabs vertical-print orientation.
• metrics.modulus_pa matches the kN/mm² value in the TestWorks xlsx after unit conversion (e.g. tensile 0.341 kN/mm² → 3.41 × 10⁸ Pa). For D790, TestWorks computes the flexural modulus via the 3-point-bend formula directly; values may look unintuitive compared to the tensile modulus.
• DAQ scans are in SI units (m, N, s); stress is Pa and strain is dimensionless.
• For D790, geometry.gauge_length_mm is always null (gauge length is a tensile concept; flex uses support span which is not surfaced).
