Sintavia, Hollywood, Fla., announces that it has achieved National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (Nadcap) approvals for laser additive manufacturing, electron beam additive manufacturing, and in-house heat treatment, the only company in the world to have done so. It has received approval for heat treatment at its Florida plants in both Hollywood and Davie.
The Nadcap accreditation for heat treatment includes nickel and aluminum alloys, and the initial approval is good through July 31, 2021. In addition to Nadcap approvals for heat treatment and additive manufacturing, the company also holds Nadcap approvals for non-destructive testing and chemical processing through its wholly-owned subsidiary, QC Laboratories Inc. In the coming months, the company plans also to pursue Nadcap approval for its in-house metallurgical and mechanical testing laboratory, located in Davie, which is already ISO 17025-certified.
“Nadcap approval for our internal heat treatment capabilities will allow Sintavia to provide higher-quality production parts more quickly to its customers,” says Brian Neff, Sintavia’s Chief Executive Officer. “Moreover, we are proud of the fact that we are the first manufacturer anywhere in the world to achieve these quality accreditations.”
With high-speed printers co-located alongside precision post processing equipment, a full complement of mechanical testing equipment, and a full metallurgical and powder laboratory, Sintavia is able to optimize parameters, serially manufacture, and audit quality parts for its Aerospace & Defense customers. Sintavia is committed to the highest quality standards in the industry, and holds multiple Nadcap accreditations, as well as AS9100 Rev. D and ISO17025 certifications.
