Industrial additive manufacturing is not a laboratory technology anymore. When your production depends on it, for aerospace components, energy parts, or medical devices, the machines running your processes must be built and supported under a rigorous quality framework.
AltForm’s quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015, covering the design, development, manufacturing, sales, and after-sales service of our metal additive manufacturing systems.
What our quality system covers
Our QMS is not a compliance exercise. It is the operational backbone of how we design, build, and support every system we deliver.
Product design and development
Quality requirements are built into the engineering process from day one, from build chamber geometry to gas flow management, laser optics, and control architecture. Every design decision is documented, reviewed, and traceable.
Manufacturing and assembly
Each AltForm system is assembled and tested at our facility in Collegno, Turin, Italy. Incoming components, sub-assemblies, and final systems undergo defined inspection protocols before leaving our production floor.
Process control and traceability
Our QMS establishes clear procedures for process monitoring, non-conformity management, and corrective action. Every machine is backed by full production documentation.
After-sales and service
Quality does not stop at delivery. Our service and spare parts operations follow the same documented procedures, ensuring consistent support response, calibrated interventions, and reliable machine performance over the long term.
Why it matters for your operations
For customers working in regulated industries, including aerospace, medical, defense, and energy, a supplier’s quality certification is not a formality. It is a prerequisite for procurement qualification, supplier audits, and process validation.
ISO 9001:2015 certification means:
- Our quality processes are independently audited and verified
- You can reference our certification in your own supplier qualification documentation
- Our continuous improvement commitments are formally structured, not informal good intentions
Our quality commitments are formally defined in AltForm’s Management System Policy, which covers both quality and environmental management in accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
AltForm also supports customers working toward sector-specific process qualifications, including ISO/ASTM 52941, ISO/ASTM 52942, and ISO 13485 for medical device applications. Our application and service teams are experienced in supporting machine qualification programs.
Part of the Sodick Group quality standards
AltForm is part of the Sodick Group, a Japanese industrial group with over 50 years of experience in high-precision machine tool manufacturing.
Our quality management practices are developed within a broader industrial framework that demands exacting standards for electromechanical systems, laser equipment, and precision production machinery.
