What does that mean for the qualification of 3D printed parts? All parts require an appropriate six-digit source, maintenance and recoverability (SMR) code and exist in a digital repository for information sharing and tracking. Most of these printers capable of printing green bin parts are polymer.

This has taken the form of long lead times, as well as stalling of production when parts needed for manufacturing fail. The nature of AM can shorten lead times, too. 3D-printed automotive parts, courtesy of Ford Another interesting possibility that AM enables is greater customization.

With 3D printing beginning to finally have the impact on manufacturing that was expected some 30 years ago, manufacturers remain wary of truly capitalising on it. Additive Assurance can trace its roots back to co-founder Marten Jurg’s time at Monash University completing his PhD and working with additive printing equipment.
