# Metal additive manufacturing certification and monitoring > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/metal-additive-manufacturing-certification-and-monitoring > Updated: 2026-10-07T05:00:17.000Z. Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Efforts to advance metal additive manufacturing are focusing on the development of standards, qualification, and real-time monitoring to support industrial production. In Australia, CSIRO hosted training sessions aimed at the qualification and certification of metal additive manufacturing processes, such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing. These programs address the standards necessary for high-value sectors like defense and aerospace, with experts noting that certified processes are critical for integrating these technologies into global supply chains. In the United States, the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing is evaluating in-situ monitoring tools to transition additive manufacturing from research to industrial use. Research indicates an urgency for process intelligence tools that can support qualification where traditional standards may not apply. Evaluations are currently being conducted on systems like AMiRIS to determine if they can provide the high spatial resolution and data usability required for efficient industrial operation. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-07: Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing evaluates additive manufacturing monitoring The Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing is evaluating in-situ monitoring tools like AMiRIS to improve process intelligence and qualification in metal additive manufacturing production. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/commonwealth-center-for-advanced-manufacturing-evaluates-additive-manufacturing-monitoring ### 2026-09-30: CSIRO hosts training on metal additive manufacturing certification Professionals gathered at CSIRO’s Lab 22 to advance metal additive manufacturing standards, focusing on qualification and certification for the defense and aerospace sectors. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/csiro-hosts-training-on-metal-additive-manufacturing-certification --- Cite as: Metal additive manufacturing certification and monitoring.
