Additive manufacturing service provider, Rapid Application Group LLC (RAG) has announced it has achieved certification to the AS9100 Rev. D quality management standard for its Oklahoma-based manufacturing facility.
Founded by a group of seasoned military and additive manufacturing specialists, the company is believed to be the first service-disabled veteran-owned small business in North America to achieve the certification, which pertains to Aviation, Space and Defense quality standards.
AS9100 Rev. D provides manufacturing suppliers with a comprehensive quality system for providing safe and reliable products. RAG says the certification strengthens its competitive position as it continues to provide what it refers to as, Mission Critical Additive Manufacturing with services in fused deposition modelling, selective laser sintering and stereolithography.
Terry Hill, Founder and CEO of Rapid Application Group commented: "Adding AS9100 certification is a natural and required progression, given our strong presence as an additive manufacturing service provider in the military aerospace and defense markets."
"AS9100 was a mission critical achievement for RAG as it demonstrates our commitment to quality to all our customers but is especially important for our clients in the Aerospace and Defense verticals. To do that, we needed to meet the stringent certification requirements of AS9100D / ISO9001. We are the go-to leader in the Oklahoma aerospace and defense additive manufacturing market and this certification is a mark of our commitment."
