We’re proud to share that Niall O’Dowd, founder and CEO of Phase3D, has been named a Finalist for the 2025 Chancellor’s Innovation Awards – Student/Alumni Innovator of the Year by UC San Diego.
In this video feature, you’ll get an inside look at Phase3D’s mission to solve one of the biggest challenges in additive manufacturing: real-time part quality validation. Dr. O’Dowd founded Phase3D to empower engineers with in-situ defect detection tools that make metal 3D printing more reliable for critical applications.
The environmental impact is equally impressive—Phase3D’s technology can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 30%, making additive manufacturing even more sustainable. Their commitment to clean-tech innovation is also reflected in their completion of the prestigious Chain Reaction Innovations program.
