Addiguru Expands Monitoring Partnerships With Renishaw, Apex Additive, and Aerospace Industry

Addiguru, a leading provider of in-situ monitoring solutions for additive manufacturing, has announced a series of strategic partnerships with major industry players to accelerate the adoption of real-time quality control technology.

Partnerships with Industry Leaders

The new partnerships include collaborations with Renishaw, Apex Additive Technologies, MTC, LISI Aerospace, and the University of Bolton. Each partnership aims to integrate Addigurus multi-sensor monitoring platform into existing manufacturing workflows.

Technical Integration

Working with Renishaw and Apex Additive, Addiguru is combining its multi-sensor monitoring platform with Renishaws RenAM 500Q system. The platform integrates optical, near-infrared (NIR), and long-wave infrared (LWIR) sensing technologies.

The collaboration includes API integration with Renishaw Central and DataHUB, enabling access to layer-by-layer photodiode intensity data, optical images, and machine control information alongside Addigurus LWIR thermal maps.

Goal: Early Defect Detection

Ultimately, the partnerships aim to achieve a deeper understanding of the additive manufacturing build process and enable early detection of process deviations. This reduces the time it takes to establish stable and repeatable parameters, which is critical for production-scale additive manufacturing.

As the industry moves past the expansion-at-any-cost phase and concentrates on sectors where additive manufacturing already delivers clear economic value, quality control becomes increasingly important. Aerospace, defense, and domestic manufacturing in China are doing most of the heavy lifting in driving AM adoption.
