China3D printingNet July 31st,3D printingAdditive Flight Solutions (AFS), a joint venture between aircraft manufacturer Stratasys and Singapore-based aircraft specialist SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC), has achieved AS9100D certification.
AFS combines Stratasys’ additive manufacturing knowledge with SIAEC’s expertise in spare parts, making it3D printingAerospace parts gain international recognition. This certification is a standardized quality management and assurance system that governs the aerospace, aerospace and defense industries. Obtaining AS9100D validation certifies that AFS provides products and services that meet customer needs while complying with all applicable regulatory and statutory requirements.
“From reducing the weight of individual parts to more comfortable layouts and designs, the future of aircraft interiors will take off in innovative ways,” said Stefan Roeding, Additive Flight Solutions DGM. “This certification demonstrates our commitment to advancing the development of aerospace applications and delivering reliable and precisely engineered solutions. It makes us very proud to receive this globally recognized mark of excellence.
Reaching the level of AS9100D is an important milestone for AFS and our parent company by being a competitive advantage. “
Stratasys in the Aerospace Industry 3D printing
Since its inception in 1989, Stratasys’3D printingThe technology is well known in the industry, and its systems are used in applications ranging from producing railway parts to medical models. Many companies also employ Stratasys machines to simplify their aerospace operations, reducing the size and weight of components and associated lead times.
For example, UK-based global engineering firm GKN Aerospace utilizes the Stratasys F900 3D printingmachine reduces production time and develops new mold applications. Likewise, aerospace specialist IDEC and prototyping service provider Wehl & Partner use Stratasys 3D printingmachine to reduce the cost and material waste associated with composite molding.
Stratasys is also working with aerospace industry partners to develop new applications for its systems.For example, Stratasys with metal additives3D printingThe company VELO3D has partnered to support the development of Boom Supersonic’s demonstrator XB-1 aircraft with its F370 and Fortus 450mc machines.Under the seven-year contract extension, the two companies aim to speed up the process by leveraging Stratasys’ suite of Aircraft Interior Solutions (AIS)3D printingAdoption in flight hardware.
Most recently, the company has continued to explore the application of its technology in aerospace by supporting BAE Systems’ Factory of the Future initiative. BAE Systems has reportedly installed a fourth F900 3D printingmachines, which will run 24/7 to increase productivity.Through its current collaboration with SIAEC, Stratasys is now looking to advance its3D printingMachine Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) applications.

AS9100D certification
SIAEC provides a wide range of MRO services to more than 80 international airlines, making it an ideal partner for Stratasys to participate in the AFS joint venture. AFS was established to provide design, engineering, certification support and parts production to SIAEC’s well-established network of partners and customers. In addition to component production services, the company provides rapid prototyping and manufacturing assistance to aerospace customers.
Leveraging the expertise of its parent company, the business has now achieved AS9100D certification from the International Aviation Quality Group (IAQG), the global aviation supply chain regulator.With the newly acquired certification, the company aims to speed up3D printingComponent adoption in the commercial and military aerospace industries and other industrial applications.
Accredited by SIAEC3D printingCenter, AFS provides industrial-grade parts and services for aircraft cabins to local and global manufacturers. 3D printingThe components are primarily used as a replacement for the interior cabin environment. For example, AFS recently developed and produced a number of disinfectant stents for a local airline in Singapore.
Once validated by IAQG, manufacturers will be able to work with AFS with confidence that their parts have met the stringent requirements of a variety of industry applications.Going forward, the company will continue to use Stratasys’3D printingtechnology to reduce the weight of its components and design more comfortable layouts for its aerospace customers.
