Certified Metal Additive Manufacturing for Safety-Critical Applications
From concept to qualified part, powered by EN9100-certified processes and advanced alloys.
Product Development Services
From concept to qualified part, our product development services combine creative design with deep manufacturing expertise. We specialize in topology-optimized, lightweight structures that meet demanding performance targets. Whether your focus is on aesthetics, function, or certification, our cross-functional team ensures your design is ready for scalable, safety-critical production.
Engineering for Safety-Critical Applications
We deliver robust, certifiable engineering solutions tailored to demanding environments, from aerospace and defense to automotive and sporting goods. Our engineers work closely with your team to optimize part geometry, material choice, and process strategy for metal additive manufacturing, ensuring your part is not just printable, but fully qualified.
Process Validation & Quality Assurance
Our EN9100-certified quality system is built for mission-critical performance. We provide full traceability from powder to part, supported by validated process parameters, mechanical testing, CT scanning, and digital build records. With thousands of test data points and in-depth material knowledge, we help de-risk even the most ambitious AM programs.
EN9100 Certified Metal Additive Manufacturing
We produce metal AM parts for flight, safety, and mission-critical applications using Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) of advanced alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V, Scalmalloy®, and Inconel 718. Our in-house production follows EN9100-certified workflows with tightly controlled build environments, validated post-processing, and scalable manufacturing partnerships. Whether prototyping or serial production, we deliver ready-to-install, qualified components.
Designing for Additive Success
Additive Manufacturing unlocks unparalleled freedom in geometry — but success depends on understanding its unique opportunities and constraints.
Our Product Development team brings together performance engineering, lightweighting, and design-for-AM best practices to help you turn ambitious ideas into certifiable, manufacturable parts.
With AM, reducing weight isn’t just a performance advantage, it reduces cost. That’s why we focus on design-to-cost strategies that optimize both function and material efficiency.
Whether you're starting from a napkin sketch or rethinking an existing part, we offer:
– Topology optimization
– Simulation-driven design
– Material selection & support strategy planning
– Manufacturability reviews & build risk reduction
Our engineers work with you to maximize the value of AM, from design concept to build-ready file.
Engineering That Delivers
In additive manufacturing, the difference between a beautiful part and a functional one is engineering. It’s easy to generate complex geometries in CAD. But without structural analysis, load path understanding, and process-aware refinement, even the best designs can fail in practice.
Our engineering team bridges that gap. We don’t just create parts that look good, we create parts that perform under pressure, meet requirements, and can be validated and certified.
We offer:
– Functional simulation (FEA) and topology optimization
– Load path & support structure integration
– Material and fatigue performance validation
– Design-for-inspection and qualification guidance
With proven results across aerospace, motorsport, robotics, and defense, APWORKS engineering makes the difference between a prototype and a functional part.
Quality Built-In
In additive manufacturing, we create the material and the part at the same time, making it more like running a digital foundry than a machine shop. That’s why process control and quality assurance are core to everything we do.
At APWORKS, quality isn’t an afterthought. It’s embedded across every stage: from powder selection and build monitoring, to post-processing, testing, and final inspection. We check material integrity and dimensional accuracy at every critical step.
Material, Process & Part Engineered Together
Our design and QA teams work hand in hand, using statistically validated material data and aerospace-derived standards. Years of in-house testing have given us deep insight into material behavior and repeatability — allowing us to confidently produce safety-critical parts across aerospace, energy, and mobility.
