Bridge the Gap between Innovation and Compliance

By consolidating all necessary actions into a single report, Qualified AM helps lower your overall costs. We minimize the need for extensive preparation and reduce reliance on external consulting, making the implementation of quality standards more affordable.

Qualified AM helps you reduce preparation time by focusing on essential gaps, instead of overwhelming you with unnecessary tasks. We provide clear and actionable recommendations that make it easier for your team to be ready for certification with minimal effort.

The timeline for Qualified AM certification varies based on readiness and resource availability. Typically, a fully qualified production line can be established within 3 months, but larger projects usually take 6 months from the goal setting (Phase 0) to certification (Phase 5).

ISO/ASTM 52920 provides clear and actionable guidelines for implementing AM quality standards. By meeting the 155 mandatory requirements, you ensure your AM parts and processes meet the highest industry standards. Qualified AM helps you apply these standards effectively, ensuring continuous improvement and compliance.

Yes, Qualified AM can help with training staff for certification readiness. Qualified AM offers training programs and workshops to ensure that employees understand the certification requirements and are prepared for the audit process. This support helps companies achieve certification more efficiently and maintain high standards of quality.

Due to the complexity of the manufacturing process and the early stage of maturity as a self-controlled autonomous process, managing the complexity of the potential anisotropic process behavior and the often lengthy multistep integrated process chains—along with sensitive feedstock management and intensive human involvement—requires that all process variables be controlled consistently to achieve the necessary part quality. Conventional standards do not enable this level of control!

Yes, non-certified processes can still be used. The Qualified AM certification applies specifically to the AM systems, materials, and process parameters that are intended for production, ensuring you maintain flexibility while still meeting the highest quality standards for certified production. The qualified process is an addition to your product portfolio and does not affect your existing services.

Qualified AM certification increases your credibility, attracting both current and prospective customers who value quality assurance in additive manufacturing. Our promotion of certified companies at trade shows and on social media enhances your market presence, helping you secure more business.

Qualified AM stays ahead of emerging technologies in additive manufacturing by continuously updating its certification standards and processes. This ensures that new and innovative AM technologies are evaluated and certified according to the latest industry standards. Qualified AM’s proactive approach helps clients stay competitive and adopt cutting-edge technologies with confidence.
