Why ASTM AMC-QF?

  • Ensures quality relevant process characteristics and factors in the additive system operations and defined and validated.
  • Suitable for medium-scale organizations with robust AM process control
  • A Quality Management System (QMS) is not required
  • Demonstrates compliance with globally recognized industry-relevant AM standards
  • Supports confidence in awarding contracts by demonstrating audited capability
  • Achieving certification shows your commitment to quality and continuous improvement.
  • A certified AM facility against recognized standards could ease the burden of extended inspection and audits, thereby reducing a significant amount of time, effort, and cost.
  • OEMs can award you contracts with confidence, knowing that you have a system that has been audited and approved by ASTM.
    Improve your reputation and increase profitability in this emerging field by building trust within the industry.

How does AMC-QF work?

  • Built on ISO/ASTM 52920
  • Industry and process agnostic
  • Modular approach toward comprehensive facility certification, with future integration of other certifications such as personnel and facility safety
  • Three-year certification with annual surveillance audits
  • Conducted by trained and qualified auditors

Strategic benefits

  • Validates AM processes and facility capability to repeatedly build parts that meet requirements
  • Supports scaling AM operations when adding more equipment
  • Provides confidence to customers (internal and external) that parts can be delivered on time
