The SPARES project, short for ‘Surrogate‐accelerated, Physics‐guided Assessment for the Reliability of Structures’, is a key component of DARPA’s SURGE program (Structures Uniquely Resolved to Guarantee Endurance). Its mission: to enable faster, more reliable qualification of AM metal parts through the convergence of physics-based simulations, AI-driven surrogate modeling, and in-situ process monitoring.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is often celebrated for the freedom it offers designers, freedom from tooling, freedom from conventional constraints, freedom to explore geometry at levels once unimaginable. Yet for all its promise, AM has also become trapped in a cycle of what can perhaps be called superficial innovation.
