Additive Assurance Brings Real-Time Quality to Metal AM Builds
RAPID + TCT has become the place where metal AM stops being a promise and starts being a production plan. This April in Boston, Additive Assurance will be on the show floor demonstrating how its AMiRIS in-process quality assurance system helps manufacturers validate Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) builds while they are still being made. In this way issues are found early, evidence is generated automatically, and quality teams are no longer forced to choose between speed and certainty.
AMiRIS is a fully integrable sensor and software platform designed specifically for OEMs of L-PBF systems transforming machines from open-loop systems into data-driven, certification-ready platforms. An array of 8 high-resolution long exposure near-infrared sensors capture meltpool emissions, morphology, and topology adaptable to any L-PBF system.
“In metal AM, quality isn’t a final inspection activity — it’s a production capability,” says Marten Jurg, Co-founder and CEO of Additive Assurance. “The goal is simple, give teams the confidence to scale, by putting reliability and repeatability at the heart of the build process, not at the end of it.”
At RAPID + TCT, Additive Assurance will show how AMiRIS moves the conversation beyond generic ‘monitoring’ toward assurance that supports decisions (what to release, what to hold, what to audit, and what to investigate) without forcing plants into a disruptive overhaul of existing quality systems.
While many in-situ approaches still leave teams with impressive visuals and ambiguous implications, AMiRIS is designed to create usable evidence that Quality, Operations, and Certification stakeholders can act on, trace, and defend.
The company’s team combines deep expertise across additive manufacturing, aerospace engineering, physical metallurgy, computational materials science, computer vision, machine learning/AI, and software development, built around a single mission: unlock the production potential of L-PBF by making quality repeatable and scalable, not artisanal.
Additive Assurance invites attendees who are wrestling with long qualification cycles, expensive inspection bottlenecks, or the ‘late surprise’ problem to visit Booth #2636 for a practical discussion about what ‘decision-ready’ assurance looks like on real production builds, how to structure a low-disruption evaluation, and how to align IT/Security and Quality requirements without slowing the factory down.
