Additive Assurance will exhibit at the forthcoming
ASTM International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing, (ICAM 2026), taking place in Orlando, Florida, from 28 September to 2 October. Visitors can meet the company on booth K19, where the team will demonstrate how AMiRIS is helping manufacturers move from retrospective inspection to real-time, in-process quality assurance for metal additive manufacturing.
ICAM has become a focal point for organisations serious about advancing AM from promising technology to qualified production. That makes it an important event for Additive Assurance, whose AMiRIS platform addresses one of the sector’s most persistent barriers, the gap between what metal AM machines can build and what quality teams can confidently release.
For manufacturers operating laser powder bed fusion systems, the commercial challenge is no longer simply productivity, it’s uncertainty. Late-stage inspection, over-testing, CT bottlenecks, rework loops, delayed release decisions, and qualification drag can quietly undermine the economics of AM, even when the machine itself performs well. AMiRIS is designed to change that equation by capturing layer-by-layer process data and converting it into usable, decision-ready evidence. Instead of leaving teams to interpret raw signals, AMiRIS supports anomaly localisation, build and part reporting, comparison, traceability, and earlier understanding of process behaviour.
David Menzies, chief commercial officer at Additive Assurance, thinks ICAM is the right environment for a more serious conversation about the future of metal AM quality, he said: “Metal AM will not scale simply because machines become faster or larger, it will scale when manufacturers can prove, with confidence, what happened during the build and act before uncertainty becomes expensive. That is the role AMiRIS has been built to play.”
Additive Assurance’s presence at ICAM also reflects the company’s wider technical depth. Co-founder Andrey Molotnikov will co-present the paper “Intelligent Process Control in Laser-Based Direct Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing using a Recurrent Neural Network Driven Approach” on Tuesday 29 September. The presentation underlines the company’s continuing commitment to intelligent process control, advanced monitoring, and the practical use of data to improve AM reliability.
Mr Menzies added: “There is a lot of noise around monitoring in AM. The real question for manufacturers is not ‘how much data can I collect?’ but ‘what decision does this evidence support?’ At booth K19, we want to speak to people who are trying to reduce inspection burden, improve qualification confidence, and build a more scalable quality model for metal AM.”
Visitors to ICAM 2026 are invited to meet Additive Assurance on booth K19 to explore AMiRIS, discuss machine compatibility, review sample reporting, and understand how in-situ assurance can support more efficient, repeatable, and commercially viable AM production. For manufacturers tired of printing first and discovering confidence later, ICAM is the moment to start a different conversation.
