Quality Assurance

GORD 3D offers comprehensive quality control and assurance services to ensure that the 3D printed products meet specific quality standards. Our team of experts uses advanced testing and inspection techniques in addition to microstructural characterization using optical microscopes and advanced scanning electron microscope to ensure that the products meet the desired specifications and are of the highest quality. We take a proactive approach to quality control and assurance, working closely with our clients throughout the entire process to ensure that the products meet their specific needs and requirements.
Mechanical Testing

Mechanical Testing

One of the ways GORD 3D ensures rigorous quality assurance is through meticulous mechanical testing. Our commitment to delivering products of the highest standards involves a comprehensive evaluation of essential attributes, primarily focusing on tensile strength and hardness of the printed objects. Tensile testing serves as a fundamental measure, assessing the material’s ability to withstand axial forces. This critical evaluation ensures that products meet the required structural integrity.
Simultaneously, hardness testing is employed to gauge the material’s resistance to deformation, providing insights into its durability and longevity. Through the combined efficacy of tensile and hardness testing, GORD 3D guarantees that every printed product attains the requisite strength and hardness, meeting and exceeding industry benchmarks.
Microstructural Characterization

Microstructural Characterization

At GORD 3D, the quality assurance measures extend to Microstructural Characterization. Our team of experts employs advanced techniques, including optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), to ensure the highest standards of quality and optimize the 3D printing process.

Optical: microscopy provides valuable insights at the macro and meso scales, allowing for a comprehensive examination of the printed product’s surface and structure.

SEM: takes the analysis a step further by delving into the micro and nano realms, uncovering critical details that significantly influence part performance and functionality. Through the synergy of optical and electron microscopy, GORD 3D guarantees a thorough and precise evaluation, ensuring that each printed product achieves the utmost quality and meets the stringent criteria set by industry standards.

Non Destructive Testing (NDT)

Non Destructive Testing (NDT)

By implementing Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), GORD 3D enhances the reliability, durability, and performance of 3D printed products while minimizing waste and reducing costs associated with post-production inspection and rework. NDT techniques used to inspect and evaluate the quality of printed parts without causing any damage to the components themselves. This is crucial in additive manufacturing, where intricate geometries and complex structures can make it challenging to detect defects using traditional methods. NDT methods commonly employed in 3D printing include computed tomography (CT) scanning, ultrasonic testing, laser scanning, thermal imaging, and visual inspection. These techniques enable manufacturers to identify flaws, voids, porosity, and other imperfections in the printed parts, ensuring that they meet quality standards and specifications. In relation to NDT, we offer:
