amsight is leading the European Space Agency's 'DIQAM' effort, a 12-month push to qualify 3D-printed space parts through a shared digital framework that lets manufacturers track compliance evidence in one place. The company makes additive manufacturing (AM) software that consolidates quality records into a single view, making flight reviews less fragmented.
The work centers on two demonstrators: an Ariane 6 container built for phase-change material and a propellant tank for an ISPTech CubeSat system. Linking the framework to hardware like that gives engineers a clearer chain from build settings to the part that flies.
Using it would feel more like reading one live record than sorting through scattered files during strict aerospace checks. That digital thread is useful when several companies touch the same component. ArianeGroup is part of the project, which runs for 12 months.

Digital Detox Travel Hardware
Consumers are adopting dumbphones and single-purpose gadgets as essential travel hardware to minimize digital distractions during summer trips.
Question 1
During a summer leisure trip, have you ever left your usual smartphone behind and used only a basic phone or "dumbphone" with limited functions?
Question 2
What was the MAIN reason you used this type of device during your trip?
Question 3
On a future leisure trip, how likely would you be to leave your smartphone behind and use only a basic phone with limited functions?
Trend Themes
-
Digital Compliance Threads — Unified quality records create new value in aerospace by turning fragmented certification evidence into traceable, live compliance histories for complex parts.
-
Additive Manufacturing Qualification — 3D-printed flight components are opening space-sector opportunities for software that links production parameters, inspection data, and final hardware performance.
-
Collaborative Certification Platforms — Shared digital frameworks reduce friction between manufacturers, integrators, and agencies when multiple organizations contribute to a single mission-critical component.
Industry Implications
-
Aerospace — Spacecraft and launch-system developers can benefit from centralized qualification data that supports faster review cycles for advanced manufactured parts.
-
Additive Manufacturing — Industrial 3D-printing providers gain differentiation as compliance-ready software becomes essential for regulated, high-performance component production.
-
Enterprise Software — Quality management platforms have room to expand through specialized tools that connect engineering, manufacturing, and certification workflows in highly regulated markets.
