Authentise Whisper Turns Chats Into Auditable Manufacturing Records

Additive manufacturing has a documentation gap that no design file can fully address. CAD models capture geometry, and process parameters record settings, but neither preserves the engineering rationale behind a critical design revision, or the process adjustment a technician made mid-build to ensure a successful outcome. That informal, decision-making layer is where much of the…
