Certified for Safe and Reliable Flight

The aviation industry has widely adopted additive manufacturing, integrating it into the production of lightweight, complex components that enhance fuel efficiency and performance. AM is now a vital part of manufacturing processes for various aircraft parts, from engine components to cabin interiors. Ensuring the highest quality is critical due to stringent safety and performance standards mandated by aviation authorities. Comprehensive testing and certification are required for airworthiness, using standards like the SEA AMS7003/7004 or the NADCAP program. Standards like ISO/ASTM 52920, offering process category independent requirements for establishing quality-assured AM processes, are essential for producing critical components. Qualified AM specializes in assisting aviation manufacturers in certifying their AM processes and supply chains, ensuring compliance with global standards and contributing to safe, efficient flight through high-quality additive manufacturing. Our support helps sustain the industry’s robust adoption of AM technologies.
