#3DExpress: Materialise Gets EN 9100 Certification for Metal AM

In this week’s #3DExpress, certification is in the spotlight. First, Materialise announced that it had gained EN 9100 certification for its metal AM processes. Now, the Belgian company is looking to help the aerospace sector identify and source flight-ready 3D printed parts. Then, DEEP received approval for its 3D printed pressure vessels. The crazy part? They are suitable for human occupancy. To finish it out, Stratasys and Siemens show the accuracy of 3D printed phantoms, SUNLU releases a new filament dryer and MB Therapeutics has raised €2M. Happy reading and have a great weekend.

Materialise Announces EN 9100 Certification for Metal AM Parts in Aerospace

Materialise has announced that it has gained EN 9100 certification for its metal AM processes. Already holding EN 9100 for polymer AM processes, the company notes that with this it proves that it has “implemented a quality management system that ensures product quality, process control, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement.” Materialise will now be able to help the entire aerospace value chain identify and source flight-ready metal or polymer 3D printed parts. Erik de Zeeuw, Market Manager for Aerospace at Materialise, concluded, “The quality and process control system we have in place simplifies the digital thread necessary for qualifying 3D-printed metal parts. And that’s something we are incredibly excited about. We are ready to talk to and work with our extensive network of partners in space and aviation to identify, produce, and develop the perfect applications for metal AM. Together, we will definitely see a whole raft of new opportunities quite literally take flight.”
