Australian metal additive manufacturing company Conflux technologya heat exchanger innovator, announced its commitment to the AS9100D aerospace certification standard.
As part of its commitment to being a laser-focused specialist, the certification includes design, something unusual in the industry.
“This marks a significant step forward in our quality assurance strategy and will demonstrate the organization’s commitment to providing the highest standards of quality and technical excellence to our customers,” said Andrew Milner, business analyst and insurance expert at quality at Conflux Technology.
A six-month process, Conflux has already passed the first phase and is well positioned to complete the next phase, currently slated for completion by early 2023.
AS9100D is an international quality management system standard for the aerospace, space and defense industries. It includes several additional requirements in addition to ISO 9001: 2015. The certification process is supervised by the IAQC (International Aerospace Quality Group) an operational and industry-owned certification scheme.
Conflux has a unique specialization in both heat transfer and additive manufacturing. His years of working with early aerospace allows his customers to accelerate development programs.
Andrew Milner leads the process. He is an experienced quality assurance expert and is the program reviewer. Milner moved from the UK to Australia in 2019 to take on the role of Senior Aerospace Auditor for Australasia and the Asia-Pacific region. He was responsible for managing the certification programs of several major aerospace / defense firsts.
After several years of third party inspection and certification, Milner joined Conflux Technology. He is in charge of maintaining and improving Conflux’s quality management system in line with AS9100 and ISO9001 requirements.
Conflux believes it is a pioneer in thermal and fluid applications through expert design and manufacturing. Conflux began in the world of F1 engineering, where founder and CEO Michael Fuller developed heat exchanger designs and improved performance results.
The company says its heat transfer technology has transformed the performance of products and systems in the aerospace, automotive, motorsport, microelectronics, industry and energy sectors.
Conflux launched its first product in June 2022, featuring a 3D printed water-charged air cooler, applicable to motorsport and high-end automotive markets.
