3D Printing Services: Why You Should Choose Formero Over Other Bureaus
September 23, 2024Choosing the right 3D Printing Service Partner is critical for ensuring high-quality parts, especially for applications where precision and reliability matter most. At Formero, our commitment to excellence sets us apart from other suppliers, thanks to a rigorous quality management system that ensures consistently superior results.
Certified Excellence: ISO 9001 Accreditation
Formero’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards is demonstrated by our ISO 9001 certification, completed by SAI Global, one of the most highly recognised and respected audit and certification bodies in the industry. This certification ensures that our quality management system adheres to stringent global standards, covering every aspect of production from initial planning through to final inspection.
ISO 9001 accreditation isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about continuous improvement and ensuring that every process we use is optimised for quality and efficiency. By choosing a certified partner like Formero, you’re assured of reliable, repeatable results, supported by globally recognised best practices.
Quality Management: Built-In Precision
Formero has established a comprehensive quality assurance protocol that guides every aspect of our production process. This system is designed to deliver reliable, high-performance parts, providing peace of mind for our clients who rely on us for precision and consistency.
Key elements of our quality management system include:
- Material testing completed every build
- First article inspection reports
- Visual part inspections
- Custom testing programs designed specifically around customer requirements
This structured approach ensures that each part we deliver not only meets but exceeds industry standards for quality and durability.
Case Study: Ensuring Consistent Strength and Performance with MJF
A key aspect of Formero’s quality management is our ongoing testing of Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) parts. Through regular tensile strength tests, we ensure that the parts we produce perform reliably in demanding applications.
In a recent comparison, we tested parts from a third-party supplier alongside our own MJF components. The results were telling:
In this case the other MJF provider samples exhibited Tensile Strength 47.4% less than he Formero average.
This case study highlights the importance of controlled material recycling and strict production parameters in achieving consistent strength and performance. Formero’s commitment to these principles ensures that our MJF parts consistently outperform those from other suppliers, offering superior reliability and durability.
The Formero Advantage: Why Quality Matters
At Formero, we understand that cost is only one factor when choosing a 3D printing provider. Reliability, precision, and repeatability are equally important, especially when manufacturing parts for critical applications. Our quality management system, coupled with our ISO 9001 certification, provides an assurance of consistent results. Whether you’re producing prototypes or short-run production parts, you can trust that our process delivers reliable, high-quality components.
While it might be tempting to opt for lower-cost overseas suppliers, the trade-off often comes in the form of reduced part quality and inconsistent performance. By partnering with Formero, you benefit from the peace of mind that comes with knowing every part is produced under a system designed for continuous improvement and stringent quality control.
