Growing demand for multi-material Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) faces process control and quality monitoring challenges, particularly in ensuring precise material composition. This study explores optical and acoustic emission signals during LPBF processes with multiple materials, addressing challenges in process control and ensuring accurate material composition. Experimental data from processing five powder compositions were collected using a custom-built monitoring system in a commercial LPBF machine. The research categorised signals from LPBF processing various compositions, enhancing prediction accuracy by combining optical with acoustic data and training convolutional neural networks using contrastive learning. Latent spaces of trained models using two contrastive loss functions, clustered acoustic and optical emissions based on similarities, aligning with five compositions. Contrastive learning and sensor fusion were found to be essential for monitoring LPBF processes involving multiple materials. This research advances the understanding of multi-material LPBF, highlighting sensor fusion strategies' potential for improving quality control in additive manufacturing.
