Every day, more industries are making use of additive manufacturing solutions also known as 3D printing, from transportation and medical right through to oil and gas. The method brings a lot of opportunities to organisations that aim to be at the forefront of manufacturing, as it enables the freedom to design more efficient and effective components, and allows parts to be produced locally around the world.
Give confidence to your supply chain that your parts are reliable and safe.
We provide certification services and training courses for additive manufactured parts and materials as well as certification for quality management systems, with an eye toward the unique nature of the processes. Our inspectors have in-depth technical expertise and working knowledge of manufacturing techniques and regulatory requirements.
We provide a part certification service for all industries, from marine class-related parts, to oil and gas upstream and downstream.
Our part certification involves assessing all aspects of the process, including design, material, facility, post-processing and testing.
We certify AM feedstock, including powder and wire.
This involves witnessing powder characterisation testing, as well as performing assessments against material specification requirements.
This facility audit by our trained experts includes a review of existing approvals, processes, and procedures.
If the facility passes, we issue an AM Quality Scheme Approval certificate.
Are you operationalised for additive manufacturing?
Our courses help manufacturers integrate AM certification into their business-as-usual processes.
In addition, we provide a comprehensive overview of AM processes, codes, standards, and certification.
