Phase3D is honored to be featured in 3D Printing Industry for our ongoing collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory. The article highlights how our real-time inspection technology is addressing one of the most urgent challenges in additive manufacturing: how to ensure part quality for high-stakes industries like nuclear energy.
In partnership with Dr. Xuan Zhang of Argonne, we’re helping transition additive manufacturing from prototyping to production by developing systems that catch defects as they happen—before they become costly failures. Our structured light scanning system, built to monitor layer height and detect anomalies in real time, empowers manufacturers to reduce waste, improve part reliability, and extend the life of critical components.
This technology is especially timely as the U.S. looks to upgrade or extend the life of aging nuclear reactors. Many replacement parts are no longer available from OEMs, and additive manufacturing offers a way forward—provided the quality can be guaranteed. That’s where Phase3D comes in.
Our monitoring system gives engineers a clear picture of the build process—detecting powder bed issues, recoater streaks, and spatter before they lead to porosity or cracking. With our early adopter program and ongoing work with partners like 1000Kelvin, we’re laying the foundation for closed-loop control systems that will make AM more repeatable, efficient, and sustainable.
