AdditiveLLM2: A Multi-modal Large Language Model for Additive Manufacturing: 2 upvotes on Hugging Face Daily Papers, #36 of 41 papers on 2026-03-24. Day-by-day upvote history.

This work presents a collection of multi-modal domain adapted large language models built upon the instruction tuned variants of open weight models (Gemma 3, Qwen 3, Gemma 4) using a relatively small dataset of around 50 million tokens. The dataset consists of open-access additive manufacturing journal articles with data extracted for the domain adaptive pretraining and visual instruction tuning processes. Various stages of the developed model are evaluated with the Additive-Manufacturing-Benchmark which consists of additive manufacturing domain specific tasks compiled published resources. Domain adapted and instruction tuned models exhibit proficiency in both language and vision based tasks, achieving accuracies upwards of 90% in general additive manufacturing knowledge. This domain adaptive pretraining and instruction tuning strategy outline an accessible specialization method for large language models to a domain such as additive manufacturing.
