全球认证公司TüvSüd宣布已完成以瑞士赛车运动的工程公司的第一个组合添加剂制造审核索伯工程.
The combined audit was conducted as part of a new service offered by the firm, dubbed the Industrial AM Production Site Certification. Sauber has now been awarded two certificates, one according to ISO 9001 and the other according to DIN SPEC 17071, for the production of metal and polymer parts.

Product quality and management effectiveness
TüvSüdbelieves that the success of manufacturers and suppliers in any 3D printing supply chain is determined by two things: the quality of the product and the effectiveness of the quality management system. According to Matthias Herrmann, ISO 9001 lead auditor at TÜV SÜD, long-term business success can only be ensured when these two concepts are combined seamlessly.
In light of this, the Industrial AM Production Site Certification was conceived – a service designed to assess additive manufacturing processes from both the AM and QM viewpoints simultaneously. It is intended to confirm to manufacturers that they are indeed experts in their respective fields of additive manufacturing production. The certification draws on expertise in both 3D printed products and 3D printing methods while incorporating organizational and holistic system requirements for a more comprehensive management system audit.
ISO 9001 and DIN SPEC 17071
这两种规格都制定了上述“有效质量管理系统”的标准。DIN Spec 17071是定义添加剂制造要求的第一个流程指南，特别是这意味着处理工业3D打印系统的制造商特别感兴趣。它评估了许多参数，包括人员，工作流文档，材料和流程。随着Sauber获得了这两个证书，现在可以在以前无法使用的字段中为更广泛的客户群提供服务。
Christoph Hansen, Director Technology & Innovation at Sauber Engineering, explains: “Receiving these two certifications is an important step for Sauber Engineering. It is an acknowledgment of the high level of quality of our work and of the consistently high standards to which our whole production process, from design to manufacturing, sticks. To undergo a combined audit in this field was a challenge Sauber Engineering successfully tackled, the smooth process demonstrating our technical expertise in this field.”
3D printer manufacturerUltimakerand materials specialistLehvoss Groupalso recently jointly received afirst-of-its-kind printing process certificationfrom TÜV SÜD.该认证是由两个合作伙伴自愿委托的，特别涵盖了Lehvoss的Luvocom 3F细丝的3D打印过程，该过程具有S5 FDM系统的Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle。
In a bid to ensure 3D printed COVID-19 devices are adhering to the strict quality requirements medical devices are usually subject to, the certification firm also recently drafted several3D打印过程的清单and provided them to manufacturers throughout the pandemic. Beneficial for testing laboratories, healthcare specialists, and the public, the lists have been supplied free of charge since September.
