I worked in technology adoption for industrial 3D printing, and optimizing the OEE of industrial 3D printing is a huge area of improvement required. From being able to predict whether a build will succeed, what the strength characteristics of the final part will be, optimizing part placement and orientation for efficiency and strength, to controlling and optimizing parameters based on thermal dynamics in the printer. It would be awesome if you could elaborate a little on the type of 3D printing (method/material)  and the aspect of the process you plan to improve and the methodology you have in mind (prediction of end state, optimization of recipe parameters, optimization of part placement, real-time process control, etc)?    ...
