Fabrisonic Earns IS0 9001:2015 Certification

Fabrisonic, a manufacturer specializing in metal 3D printing applications, has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification, an internationally recognized quality standard. The certification further validates its quality management system which the company says is focused  on the customer, continuous improvement and risk-based thinking so that quality problems can be prevented. Fabrisonic is commercializing ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM), a 3D metal printing process which joins thin metal foils to produce a three-dimensional product.

The scope of the registration for ISO 9001 covers UAM products, equipment and R & D service. The journey toward ISO certification has enabled Fabrisonic to further hone existing continuous improvement efforts, the company says. One unique aspect of Fabrisonic’s ISO scope is the system did not just address production. Unlike many companies, Fabrisonic chose to incorporate its research and development efforts in its scope. 

“UAM is a new and exciting process, and as a result much of the commercial efforts centers on first of its kind applications,” says Mark Norfolk, Fabrisonic president. “We think  it is important that all our production is covered by our quality system. It’s the way we do business.”

In 2020, Fabrisonic experienced strong growth and won Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Small Business of the Year award. Its quality system, bolstered by the addition the recent ISO 9001 certification, is said to further enhance its ability to serve its customers, continue to improve and impact future growth.
