Make an appointment with our experts

At our booth TÜV NORD would like to get into a discussion with you. Our headlining Additive Manufacturing topics:

Component-related tests

TÜV NORD supports you with a wide range of component testing possibilities for special applications, both destructive and non-destructive (see mechanical/technological tests). Our laboratory offers the full range of non-destructive testing processes. To detect porosities, cracks and similar discontinuities, we will choose the right X-ray technologies for your application. In the high-end range, computer tomography offers excellent opportunities for component analysis and allows a detailed inspection of the interior structures of your 3D-printed part.

Personnel certification

TÜV NORD certifies between 20,000 and 25,000 personnel per year in the field of joining technology. Get your personnel qualified in the field of additive manufacture and quality management!

Operator examinations can be based, for example, on DIN 35225 “Welding for aerospace applications – Qualification testing of operators for powder bed based laser beam machines for additive manufacturing” or on DIN EN ISO 14732 “Welding personnel – Qualification testing of welding operators and weld setters for mechanized and automatic welding of metallic materials”.

Mechanical/technological tests

Make use of our expertise in rapidly and reliably determining the mechanical and technological properties achieved in manufacture. Our accredited test labs carry out all investigations swiftly, efficiently and to the applicable standards.

Our range of trials for 3D-printed test samples covers all the standard processes, such as:

Charpy pendulum impact test to DIN EN ISO 148-1
Tensile test to DIN EN ISO 6892-1

We will be happy to agree in advance on the number and type of test samples to be produced on the side during additive manufacture.

Naturally, we can also offer materials science investigations for your 3D-printed parts, based on the questions you would like answered.

Alongside the comprehensive analysis of your production samples, we also offer tried-and-tested logistics solutions for sample transportation and informative documentation of the test results.

Primary material tests

The characteristics of your primary material, alongside the process parameters used in your 3D printer, determine the material properties of the component you manufacture.

But what are the properties of your primary material? Does your metallic powder come up to your requirements? Have your customers’ specifications been met?

Be on the safe side and have TÜV NORD independently analyse the properties of your starting material. Our accredited laboratories will rapidly and reliably analyse your material samples on the basis of a TÜV NORD testing programme. For example, our reliable grain size distribution analyses can provide you with valuable information to help optimise your machine settings. Naturally, we will also inspect the primary material against other current international test specifications.

More services, more opportunities - Webshop iAM APPROVED

iAM APPROVED digitizes the testing service offerings of various laboratories. This allows you to access extensive experience and high-quality equipment for various tests.

TÜV NORD and Additive Marking support industrial 3D printing with tailored services in the area of Testing, Inspection & Certification, in particular with production samples to determine the material properties.

Via our Webshop iAM APPROVED, we provide you with individually configured STL files of the respective required production samples for 3D printing for download. Unambiguously traceable production control samples are provided for customized testing services, which are inspected and tested in the accredited TÜV NORD laboratories. This enables our customers to make reliable statements about the mechanical-technological properties of their construction jobs easily, reliably and quickly.

The files of the test specimens are configured ready for printing and are simply added to the production run to be tested. After production, the accompanying samples are sent free of charge to TÜV NORD for testing using a logistics service provider.

The TÜV NORD laboratories determine the material characteristics according to internationally recognized standards and provide the results in digital form.
