Aran (www.aran-rd.com) — a leading Israeli design, development and manufacturing firm with years of experience as a provider of the additive manufacturing of parts and products — has been awarded official accreditation to the AS9100 international aerospace quality standard for the laser sintering technology it uses.

This is in addition to the ISO 9001:2008 certification the company has held since 1997. Aran’s facility is said to be the most advanced in Israel for fast additive production — from small-scale to series production — using laser sintering technology from EOS.

AS9100 is the internationally recognised quality management system standard specific to the aerospace, aviation and defence industries; it is managed by the International Aerospace Quality Group and includes ISO 9001:20151 quality management system requirements.
