Attention all engineers: 3D People is thrilled to announce that we have officially achieved ISO 9001 certification! This international accreditation is the gold standard for quality management systems (QMS) and demonstrates our commitment to providing top-notch products and services to our customers.
Thanks to our already solid quality procedures, we breezed through the ISO 9001 review and achieved full compliance with the help of our dedicated production and quality manager, Daniel Greenwell. The independent auditors were impressed with our existing processes and mechanisms , which just goes to show how committed we are to providing quality parts for our customers.

As the additive manufacturing industry matures, it's important for companies like ours to implement stringent quality management systems and pursue accreditations such as ISO 9001 in order to uphold the highest standards and practices in the industry.
But what does this mean for you, you may ask? Well, let us break it down for you:
Improved efficiency: We've implemented clear processes and procedures to identify and eliminate any waste or inefficiencies in our operations. Translation: faster turnaround times and lower prices for you!
Quality assurance: With a QMS in place, we can ensure that our products and services consistently meet the highest standards. This helps reduce the risk of mistakes or product failures, giving you peace of mind.
Reduced risk: Our QMS helps us identify and address potential risks in our operations. This helps prevent costly mistakes and lowers the chances of product failures or customer complaints. In other words, you can trust that we've got everything under control.
But achieving ISO 9001:2015 is not a one-time task – it's a continuous process of improvement. We've established clear processes and procedures, and we're committed to regularly reviewing and updating them to meet the highest standards. We also undergo regular internal and external audits to ensure that our QMS is effective and that we're meeting all the requirements.
