Interspectral and Partners Secure Vinnova Funding for TRUSTAM- Pioneering Federated AI for Quality Assurance in Additive Manufacturing
Norrköping, Sweden
Interspectral is proud to announce it has been selected as a key partner in TRUSTAM (Trusted Federated Intelligence for Additive Manufacturing) a multi-million SEK research initiative awarded by Vinnova, Sweden’s national innovation agency. Alongside consortium partners Saab, AMEXCI, and Scaleout Systems, Interspectral will help develop the next generation of secure, AI-driven quality assurance for additive manufacturing in aerospace, defense, and other safety-critical industries. The selection is a strong recognition of Interspectral’s position at the forefront of AI-powered process monitoring and of the trust placed in our technology by some of Sweden’s most respected industrial names.
For additive manufacturing to fulfil its potential in mission-critical production, quality must be embedded, traceable, and provable in real time across facilities, machines, and highly sensitive environments. That conviction has driven Interspectral’s product development for years, and it is what made TRUSTAM a natural partnership to pursue.
“We entered this collaboration because the challenge it addresses is one we encounter with our customers every day,” said Isabelle Hachette, CEO of Interspectral. “How do you scale AI-driven quality assurance across multiple production sites and different machine environments without ever compromising data security or IP ownership? That question demands a collaborative answer, and this consortium is uniquely positioned to deliver it.”
TRUSTAM applies federated learning to quality assurance in AM- a framework where AI models improve collectively across production environments, without raw data ever leaving the site where it was generated. Only model updates are exchanged, enabling shared intelligence while preserving full data confidentiality. Within this framework, Interspectral takes a central technical role: leading the development of the local AI model- the on-site intelligence that learns from each machine’s unique process data as well as the workflow design that connects monitoring, analysis, and decision-making into a seamless operational experience. This builds directly on Interspectral’s AM Explorer platform, already integrated across more than 60% of the metal AM machine landscape and deployed with customers including GKN Aerospace and Volum-E.
The outcomes expected from TRUSTAM are tangible and far-reaching on-premise AI models fine-tuned to specific machines and production conditions, a validated framework for secure cross-site AI collaboration, and real-world demonstrators proving the technology in live aerospace and defense environments. For Interspectral, the project will also directly accelerate planned capabilities in AM Explorer Platform, including on-premise AI training and multimodal process analysis.
“Being trusted with the technical core of this project reflects the confidence our partners have in our platform and our competence,” added Isabelle Hachette at Interspectral.
TRUSTAM runs through early 2028, culminating in a demonstrator phase and full dissemination of results to the broader additive manufacturing community.
