amsight has been selected by AM North, a Norwegian additive manufacturing producer based in Hammerfest, to run production-level quality management software across its certified AM operations, the companies announced this week. The deal replaces a manual, Excel-and-PDF documentation process that AM North says consumed around eight hours per project.
AM North's previous workflow involved filling out project information by hand, transferring it into digital folders, then compiling it into PDFs for customer delivery. amsight's software instead connects machine data, build information, test results, and process steps across planning, build jobs, machine monitoring, post-processing, inspections, and reporting, and supports defined acceptance criteria so results are checked and documented consistently. What's new here is the shift from static end-of-project paperwork to quality evidence captured step by step during production, an approach built around the traceability and process documentation that DNV-related certification expects.
"As we moved further into certified AM production, it became clear that manual documentation could not be our long-term answer," said Jan-Inge Kongsbak, Managing Director at AM North. "We needed a system that could connect machine data, build information, test results, and process steps in one place." AM North says documentation effort has dropped from around eight hours per project to roughly one and a half to two hours. "The work is now captured step by step through the process, and the final reporting is much faster," Kongsbak added.
"AM North shows exactly why production additive manufacturing needs an AM-specific quality evidence software," said Tim Wischeropp, CEO at amsight. "When customers, auditors, and regulated industries ask for proof, scattered files and manual reports are not enough." amsight frames the deal as evidence of a broader shift in how AM producers are judged, on documented process control rather than on parts output alone.
AM North was founded in 2023 to help industrial customers in northern Norway, many tied to the oil and gas supply chain, move from physical spare-part inventories to on-demand additive manufacturing. The company is now extending that model into fish farming, defence, and mining supply chains, and is preparing new facilities and added AM and machining capacity as it takes on production work beyond its original niche.
