Quality Built Into the Process

Customers rely on F3DP for more than printed parts. They rely on us to understand requirements, control production, inspect finished work, maintain records, and respond when something needs attention.

Our ISO 9001:2015 certification confirms that the quality management system supporting F3DP has been independently assessed by American Certification Group and found to conform to the requirements of ISO 9001:2015.

The certified scope covers:

Engineering design, reverse engineering, additive manufacturing, post-processing, inspection, and related manufacturing services for plastic components.

This scope reflects the connected services we provide, from helping refine a design through production, finishing, inspection, and delivery.

What ISO 9001:2015 Means for Our Customers

ISO 9001:2015 is a quality management system standard. For our customers, certification means our work is supported by defined and controlled processes rather than informal or inconsistent practices.

• Consistent Project Execution
  • Customer requirements are reviewed and carried through quoting, project setup, production, post-processing, inspection, and shipment.

• Documented Quality Controls
  • Procedures, work instructions, inspection records, training records, project documentation, and other quality records are maintained within a controlled quality management system.

• Inspection and Traceability
  • Inspection requirements are identified based on the project. Records can be maintained to support production traceability and customer documentation needs.

• Control of Nonconforming Parts
  • Potential quality issues are identified, evaluated, and controlled before affected parts are released for shipment.

• Corrective Action and Continual Improvement
  • Customer feedback, internal quality issues, and process performance are reviewed so problems can be addressed and processes can continue to improve.

ISO Certified 3D Printing and Part Accuracy

Part accuracy is one important piece of a successful additive manufacturing project, but quality involves more than comparing a finished part to its CAD model. Material selection, build orientation, process controls, post-processing, inspection requirements, documentation, and communication can all affect the final result.

Our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system provides the framework used to manage these connected activities. For projects with dimensional requirements, customers can also review our real-world inspection data and learn more about the factors that influence additive manufacturing accuracy.

Talk With Us About Your Quality Requirements

Customers seeking ISO certified 3D printing may have different inspection, documentation, and acceptance requirements for each project. If your parts require dimensional inspection, first article inspection, production documentation, defined acceptance criteria, or other quality controls, let our team know during the quoting process.

We will review the application, part geometry, material, manufacturing process, finishing requirements, inspection needs, and available documentation options with you.
