We’re thrilled to announce that Phase3D has been selected as a finalist in the ASTRO America In-Situ Awareness Challenge, a national initiative aimed at accelerating the development and adoption of real-time quality control in metal additive manufacturing.

This challenge, led by ASTRO America in partnership with ASTM International and Florida State University’s InSPIRE Center, aims to identify and showcase breakthrough sensor and monitoring technologies capable of detecting defects early, improving part reliability, and reducing material waste in AM processes.

As a finalist, Phase3D will install and demonstrate Fringe Inspection™ on a Colibrium Additive M2 machine at the FSU InSPIRE Facility. This opportunity allows us to validate our products in a true production environment and contribute to the broader industry goal
of scalable, reliable, and cost-effective additive manufacturing.

The inaugural Actionable In-Situ Awareness Showcase will be taking place August 26–27, 2025 in Panama City, Florida. The event will feature live demonstrations, keynote presentations, and discussions focused on advancing in-situ monitoring and process control for metal AM.

At Phase3D, we believe real-time layer-by-layer inspection is critical to the future of additive manufacturing. By enabling proactive decisions during the build, rather than reactive ones after it’s complete, we help manufacturers catch issues early, reduce waste, and improve quality outcomes at scale.

If you’re attending the showcase or would like to learn more about how Phase3D is bringing measurable, actionable feedback to AM, we’d love to connect!
