Quickparts UK expands its European footprint and manufacturing team by establishing itself as a certified EN9100.
According to Quickparts, the EN9100:2018 third-party certification enhances the capability of the facility to directly support the supply of parts into the aerospace and equivalent sectors where repeatability, reliability and safety are considered highly critical.
The decision to develop the Quality Management System to align with the requirements of EN9100:2018 has allowed Quickparts to support existing customer programmes. This has enhanced the services provided within the UK facility and ensured additive manufacturing metal production is in line with increasing demands for repeatability and safety for parts used in performance-critical applications.
The materials that the Quickparts UK facility can print under EN9100 include Maraging Steel 18Ni300, a versatile steel; Stainless Steel 316L, a corrosion resistant steel; Inconel 625, a heat and corrosion resistant material; Inconel 718, a heat and corrosion resistant material with good tensile strength; and through outsourcing also offers Titanium Ti6AI4V and Aluminium AlSi10Mg.
