Award-Winning In-Situ Monitoring · No Cost · No Obligation
Still finding defects three weeks too late?
Hours spent analysing parts by hand — only to be told weeks later there were defects you could have caught in real time. Sound familiar?
We're inviting 20 metal AM teams worldwide to let the winners of the ASTRO America in-situ challenge show you what you're missing. Register your interest and we'll agree a booked-in start date.
From blind builds to full visibility
Across the AM community, the majority of teams are still analysing builds semi-automatically or by hand, working through images to detect flaws layer by layer. It costs hours of time and effort and introduces the potential for error.
- ✓Automated analysis that turns 5–6 hours of manual review into 20–30 minutes per part.
- ✓Layer-by-layer anomaly detection with low / medium / high probability scoring using your existing camera data.
- ✓Optical analysis plus thermal (NIR / LWIR-ILT) insight where that data exists.
- ✓The exact layer a failing build could have been stopped — before downstream cost piles up.
How taking part works
Register interest
Tell us about your machines and what you'd like to learn using the form above.
Intro & scheduling
A short call to confirm fit and agree your booked-in start date. Capacity is limited, so slots are scheduled in advance.
NDA in place
We sign a mutual NDA to protect your data before anything is shared.
Secure data handover
We agree exactly what's needed and a secure transfer method. No public uploads — we guide you through it.
Analysis
Your automated Build Report plus expert interpretation, delivered within 5 working days of your start date.
Deep-dive review
A one-to-one walkthrough of the findings — and an optional path to a full trial.
Multi-sensor analysis, built for metal AM
Our platform fuses multiple perspectives of the build to distinguish real defects from harmless anomalies — the same approach recognised by ASTRO America's expert panel.
Optical imaging
Catches powder-bed anomalies layer by layer: recoater streaking, short feed, part swelling, spatter and powder clumps.
NIR thermography
Reveals melting-intensity variation and hot spots: leading indicators of lack of fusion and porosity.
LWIR & Inter Layer Temperature™
Maps heat build-up, traps and cooling rates: predicting distortion and part failure 50–100 layers in advance.
