The third quarter of 2025 has been a period of significant validation for Addiguru. From being named co-winners of ASTRO America’s prestigious Actionable In-Situ Awareness Challenge to key features in leading industry publications, the message is clear: multi-sensor in-situ monitoring is the future of additive manufacturing, and Addiguru is leading the charge.
Here’s a look at our recent momentum as we head into Q4.
1. Industry Validation: Co-Winner of ASTRO America’s Challenge
Addiguru is proud to be recognized as a co-winner of ASTRO America’s inaugural Actionable In-Situ Awareness Challenge, conducted in partnership with ASTM International and Florida State University’s InSPIRE. The competition featured live demonstrations on industrial-scale metal 3D printers, with judging by leaders from Boeing, RTX, Northrop Grumman, GE Aerospace, the Air Force Research Laboratory, Lockheed Martin and others.
This accolade highlights a crucial industry truth: single-sensor methods fall short.
Current systems often rely on a single optical feed, leaving gaps in detection and delaying defect notification. Addiguru’s multi-sensor platform (integrating optical, LWIR, NIR, and more) provides a full, real-time view into the build, enabling manufacturers to catch problems 50 to 100 layers earlier than optical-only systems.
“Being named among the top-ranked companies in the Actionable In-Situ Awareness Challenge is an exciting milestone for Addiguru,” said Shuchi “SK” Khurana, CEO of Addiguru. “Our multi-sensor analytics platform is designed to provide real-time insight that manufacturers can act on immediately. This recognition validates our approach and underscores the importance of scalable, data-driven quality control for the future of additive manufacturing.”
2. A Pattern of Industry Recognition
This win is part of a broader trend of industry recognition for Addiguru's leadership in the AM space.

3. Looking Ahead: The Future is Multi-Sensor at Formnext 2025
As we look toward Q4, this momentum is propelling us forward to Formnext 2025. The challenge is clear: most quality control in metal AM happens after the build, when defects are already baked in.
At Formnext, Addiguru will be showcasing our multi-sensor platform in action—demonstrating how combining optical, thermal, and other data streams lets manufacturers make decisions in real time. It’s not just about finding defects—it’s about acting on them fast.
