MX3D Earns DNV’s Highest Additive Manufacturing Certification for Wire Arc 3D Printing

Amsterdam-based MX3D announced it has become the first wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) facility in the world to receive DNV certification at the Additive Manufacturing Criticality 3 (AMC3) level. AMC3 is the highest classification DNV awards. The certificate qualifies MX3D to produce highly critical metal components for maritime, defense, and energy applications.

DNV issued the Certificate of Qualification under the DNV-ST-B203 standard, which governs additive manufacturing of metallic parts. Reaching AMC3 means MX3D’s facility, software, and WAAM processes were audited and shown to consistently produce parts suitable for critical, high-load structural uses where component failure is not acceptable.
