We’re thrilled to announce that Phase3D has been selected as one of five finalists 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's Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence 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. During the installation, we’ll be capturing key data—including time-lapse imagery and performance logs—to validate our technology in a true production environment. This opportunity allows us to support the broader industry goal of achieving 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, discussions focused on advancing in-situ monitoring and process control for metal AM, and the final results of the challenge.
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!
