Where qualification bottlenecks get solved together

Additive manufacturing has reached a point where progress depends on coordination across process control, in-situ monitoring, and inspection. This workshop brings the teams working on those exact problems into one room to align on what it takes to qualify faster, reduce uncertainty, and scale production with confidence.

ACCELERATE QTIME with WATCHLIST is a focused, working session designed to connect the dots across the AM qualification lifecycle, from real-time process control to inspection and validation.

If your work depends on getting parts qualified, approved, and deployed with less risk and delay, this is where priorities become clearer and paths forward become actionable.

What you gain

By attending this workshop, you gain:

  • A clearer path to reducing qualification timelines across your programs
  • Alignment with peers, OEMs, and regulators on what “good” looks like in production environments
  • Practical insight into how process control, monitoring, and inspection strategies connect
  • A stronger understanding of where standards, data, and validation efforts are heading next
  • Relationships that accelerate decision-making long after the workshop ends

This kind of alignment is exactly what enables standards-based adoption and lowers cost and schedule risk across the AM lifecycle

Three days. One connected workflow.

Each day focuses on a critical phase of qualification, building toward a more complete, coordinated approach.

Day 1 — Process Control
ACCELERATE + WATCHLIST
Define what stable, repeatable production looks like—and how to prove it.

Day 2 — In-Situ Monitoring
ACCELERATE + WATCHLIST + QTIME
Connect real-time data to decision-making and qualification confidence.

Day 3 — NDE / Materials & Defects (MD)
WATCHLIST + QTIME
Advance inspection strategies for large, complex, and critical parts.

Who this is for

This workshop is built for those actively shaping how additive manufacturing gets qualified and deployed:

  • Parts producers and manufacturing engineers
  • AM machine OEMs and system developers
  • In-situ monitoring and analytics providers
  • Inspection and NDE specialists
  • Regulatory and defense stakeholders
  • Research organizations and universities

The focus is a practical one: improving how organizations make technical decisions and move technologies into production environments with confidence
