ISO/ASTM 52908 Quality Assurance of Additive Manufacturing
The ISO/ASTM 52908 standard provides a framework for quality assurance in additive manufacturing (AM). This service ensures that the production processes used to manufacture parts are consistent and meet the required specifications. The standard focuses on the critical aspects of AM, including design validation, process qualification, part certification, and ongoing monitoring.
The implementation of ISO/ASTM 52908 is essential for ensuring reliability, repeatability, and consistency in additive manufacturing processes. This service guarantees that all parts produced using these technologies meet not only the specific requirements defined by your company but also those set forth by international standards.
Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment to conduct tests according to ISO/ASTM 52908 guidelines. We employ highly skilled technicians who are trained specifically for this purpose, ensuring accurate and reliable results every time.
The process begins with thorough design validation which involves simulating the manufacturing process using computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools. Once validated, we proceed to process qualification where we establish the parameters under which the AM machine operates optimally. Part certification follows suit; here, individual components are tested against specified criteria before being approved for use.
Ongoing monitoring is crucial throughout the entire manufacturing cycle because even minor changes can significantly affect the quality of the final product. By continuously evaluating the process and part performance, we ensure that all manufactured parts consistently meet or exceed expectations.
Our services extend beyond just meeting regulatory requirements; they also help enhance your reputation by providing you with robust evidence demonstrating compliance with industry best practices. This can be particularly valuable when seeking new business opportunities abroad where stringent quality controls are often mandated by law.
In summary, implementing ISO/ASTM 52908 ensures that every aspect of the additive manufacturing process is thoroughly vetted and optimized for efficiency and accuracy. Our team will work closely with you throughout this entire process to ensure seamless integration into your existing quality management systems.
Applied Standards
The ISO/ASTM 52908 standard integrates several key international standards including ISO 13402, ASTM E2756, and EN 374. These standards collectively provide a comprehensive approach to quality assurance in additive manufacturing by covering various aspects such as design, process control, and part validation.
- ISO 13402: This standard defines the requirements for the use of computer-aided engineering (CAE) software in product development. It ensures that all designs are accurate, reliable, and capable of being manufactured effectively using additive manufacturing techniques.
- ASTM E2756: Developed by ASTM International, this standard establishes procedures for evaluating the dimensional accuracy and surface finish characteristics of parts produced via AM processes. Dimensional tolerances and surface roughness are critical factors in determining whether a part meets its intended specifications.
- EN 374: European Norm EN 374 specifies minimum performance requirements for gloves used by healthcare workers. While it may seem unrelated at first glance, this standard emphasizes the importance of ensuring that products meet stringent safety and efficacy standards - principles that are equally applicable to additive manufacturing.
By adhering strictly to these internationally recognized standards, we ensure that our quality assurance processes are both robust and consistent across all projects. This approach not only enhances trustworthiness but also facilitates easier compliance with local regulations wherever your operations may be located.
