Phase3D
Phase3D is on a mission to empower the additive manufacturing (AM) industry through trusted inspection technologies. Our core products, Fringe Research and Fringe Qualification, provide customers with the confidence to reduce lead time, increase machine utilization, and ensure build quality by creating heightmaps of every layer. Whether you are doing research, working on product or process development, manufacturing production parts, or performing part qualification, Phase3D's data will help you. Our product is rooted in taking objective heightmaps using structured light, a well-known and understood inspection technology. Fringe Research and Fringe Qualification measures every layer of every build, identifies anomalies, and supports you and your engineers or technicians to improve your process and products. Unlike anyone else working on this problem, Phase3D’s inspection technology removes the guessing from the equation. Fringe Research and Fringe Qualification use NO artificial intelligence or machine learning to measure and identify anomalies. The heightmap is fully unit based, in microns, repeatable, calibratable, and has known uncertainty. Let’s work together to improve your process.
