Wipro 3D, the additive manufacturing (AM) business of Wipro has been awarded a Lloyd’s Register Certification for Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) quality. The certification is in accordance with the requirements of the LR-TWI Guidance Notes for the Certification of Metallic Parts made by Additive Manufacturing (2017).
Lloyd’s Register has assessed and qualified Wipro 3D’s Bangalore metal additive manufacturing facility where additive consulting, design, production and R&D services are performed. The assessment was made against requirements that included: design data development & control; metal additive manufacturing process & build control; and the reception, storage & handling of feedstock (utilising titanium alloys, aluminium alloys, cobalt chrome alloys, nickel alloys and stainless steels) for Wipro 3D’s powder bed fusion facility. Wipro 3D is the first Indian metal AM facility to be awarded Lloyd’s Register’s AM facility qualification and only the sixth globally.
Earlier this year, Wipro 3D’s approach to world-class quality was substantiated again by a recertification /surveillance audit by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), recognising the organisational processes and quality management system followed by Wipro 3D for the manufacturing and assembly of components using additive technology for aerospace and industrial applications (AS 9100 Rev D).
Wipro 3D is in the process of achieving further certification and is currently being assessed by leading global aerospace majors for a host of metal AM competencies and services.
