Phase3D, based in Chicago, Illinois, USA, has entered into a strategic partnership with Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation (TNSC). Through TNSC’s established presence, Phase3D’s measurement-based solutions for Additive Manufacturing will have a widespread distribution and support network throughout Japan.

“This partnership with TNSC represents a significant milestone in our mission to empower the Additive Manufacturing industry with trusted quality assurance technology,” said Niall O’Dowd, founder and CEO of Phase3D. “TNSC’s in-depth understanding of advanced manufacturing and commitment to technical excellence make them the perfect partner for bringing our inspection solutions to the Japanese market.”

TNSC’s customers will also be offered comprehensive support for Phase3D’s complete line of inspection products, including Fringe Inspection and the newly launched Fringe Qualification software. The partnership will also offer rapid service and maintenance response times for Japanese customers as well as hands-on training at designated demonstration facilities.

The companies anticipate that their partnership will be particularly beneficial for industries with stringent quality requirements, such as aerospace, medical devices, and defence, where Phase3D’s measurement-based approach offers the documentation needed for critical applications. Using structured light fringe projection technology, Phase3D’s Fringe Inspection products generate precise heightmaps with micron-level accuracy, ensuring trusted and repeatable quality control across production.

“Phase3D’s innovative approach to AM inspection aligns perfectly with our commitment to advanced manufacturing solutions,” stated Hirotaka Mangyo, Innovation Division Director of TNSC. “Their metrology-based technology fills a critical need in Japanese market for objective, measurement-based quality assurance in Additive Manufacturing.”

This expansion with TNSC is noted as a key milestone in Phase3D’s global growth strategy, with additional partnerships planned in Asia to extend the company’s presence.
