Interspectral, a Swedish provider of additive manufacturing process monitoring software, will lead a research project called TRUSTAM, funded by the Swedish Innovation Agency (Vinnova). The project partners include Saab, AMEXCI, and Scaleout Systems, among others, aiming to develop a next-generation quality assurance framework based on federated learning technology for additive manufacturing in the aerospace and defense sectors. Federated learning allows AI models at multiple production sites to collaboratively optimize without exchanging raw data, thus sharing collective insights on process optimization while protecting each party's intellectual property. Interspectral will be responsible for developing local AI models and designing a cross-facility workflow platform, addressing the conflict between data security and quality improvement while accelerating AI adoption in high-end manufacturing. The project is expected to be completed by early 2028, with results integrated directly into Interspectral's AM Explorer platform.
