Testing and
Certification.
At Fordyno, we understand the critical importance of testing and certifying 3D printed parts for optimal performance and reliability.
With our in-house capabilities, we are equipped to extract essential data such as print path and materials information into our advanced FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software. This enables us to conduct comprehensive analyses that accurately assess the performance of the printed parts.
Furthermore, our physical testing capabilities are enhanced by our state-of-the-art Shimadzu AGX-V2 testing equipment. This allows us to conduct rigorous physical tests on the 3D printed components, ensuring they meet industry standards and perform optimally under various conditions.
Design and Analysis.
To analyse and truly certify a 3D printed part is a complex task, and our team has extensive experience formulating our own unique methodology to analyse the interaction between multiple materials and properties.
Challenges.
Directional material properties, multiple materials and properties interacting. Presence of lightweight infill (voids).
Mapping for Analysis.
Our engineers map the toolpath data to the analysis model to create a dataset that can be analysed in our FE software (Ansys).
Validation.
The team use industry leading software to verify strength and stiffness of the printed part against the relevant standards and specifications.
Physical Testing
and Certification.
Fordyno is dedicated to safety critical applications and maintains in-house mechanical testing capabilities. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment to support our commitment. Our engineers leverage this advanced equipment to gather real-world data and effectively implement our designs. By adhering to all necessary quality standards, we ensure the reliability and safety of our products for critical applications.
We recognize that relying solely on calculated values is insufficient to accurately predict the performance of materials and products. To address this, our mechanical testing services play a crucial role. These services provide tangible data that enables us to verify the specifications and compliance of the parts we produce, as well as the parts manufactured by our customers. By utilizing real data, we can confidently ensure that our printed components and customer-manufactured parts meet the required regulations and quality standards.
