Additive Assurance’s proposition is to move useful quality evidence upstream, capturing and analysing what happens during the build so teams can identify anomalies earlier and make better-informed decisions before more time and cost are committed.
(4th November 2026, Melbourne, Australia) Additive Assurance will use Formnext 2026, 17-20 November, to confront one of metal additive manufacturing's most persistent industrial problems, manufacturers can increasingly print ambitious parts, but proving those parts quickly, economically, and consistently is still holding production back.

The conversation is particularly relevant as AM moves toward larger, denser, higher-value and multi-laser production. In these environments, simply adding more post-build inspection can become prohibitively expensive, slow, and operationally difficult. Additive Assurance's proposition is to move useful quality evidence upstream, capturing and analysing what happens during the build so teams can identify anomalies earlier and make better-informed decisions before more time and cost are committed. AMiRIS combines high-resolution near-infrared sensing, automated analytics, and browser-based reporting to provide full-build visibility, localise process anomalies, compare parts and builds against known-good references, and create traceable evidence that quality and engineering teams can actually use. The platform is available for standard and large-format L-PBF systems, while AMiRIS Inside enables machine manufacturers to integrate assurance directly into next-generation platforms. David Menzies, Chief Commercial Officer at Additive Assurance, says, "The people we want to meet at Formnext are not looking for another dashboard. They are dealing with real production problems such as CT queues, builds that fail late, investigations that take days, unexplained process variation, and quality decisions that are harder to defend than they should be. "Our job is to show how in-process evidence can remove some of that friction and help them build a quality strategy that scales." Visitors are encouraged to bring a real application, quality bottleneck, or inspection challenge to the Additive Assurance team and use the meeting to test where in-situ assurance could create measurable value. Additive Assurance will exhibit at Formnext 2026, Messe Frankfurt, 17-20 November, at Hall 12.1 booth E41. www.additiveassurance.com
