Customized testing services for 3D printing

Webshop iAM-approved as a cooperation between Additive Marking and TÜV NORD

TÜV NORD and Additive Marking support industrial 3D printing with tailor-made services in the field of testing, inspection & certification, in particular with production samples to determine the material properties. Via our webshop, we provide you with individually configured STL files of the necessary production samples for 3D printing for download. Clearly traceable production 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 and technological properties of their construction jobs easily, reliably and quickly. The test specimen files are configured ready for printing and are simply added to the production run to be tested. After production, the accompanying samples are sent to TÜV NORD for testing free of charge by a logistics service provider. The TÜV NORD laboratories determine the material characteristics in accordance with internationally recognized standards and provide the results in digital form.

FAQ about the webshop

The iam-approved.com web store is primarily aimed at small and medium-sized 3D printing service providers who are faced with new challenges, such as proving material properties achieved in production to their clients and customers.  

The range of tests for additively manufactured accompanying samples includes all standard test procedures, such as impact tests according to DIN EN ISO 148-1 and tensile tests according to DIN EN ISO 6892-1. Initially, the joint TÜV NORD and Additive Marking webshop will start with a small selection of tests, which will be successively expanded to include further services for additive manufacturing.

The decisive advantage lies in the automated and clear labeling of the samples at the moment they are created. This completely eliminates the usual time-consuming and error-prone manual labeling effort, both on the customer side and later in the test laboratory. This special form of marking is a unique selling point and is only offered by TÜV NORD and Additive Marking.

The serialized and clearly traceable production samples simplify and speed up processes enormously for 3D printing service providers. You get an all-inclusive package, from the provision of the right test specimens to the elimination of manual production documentation and the digital transmission of test results.
