What we hold

Our certifications and approvals

Five credentials, each doing a different job — with the certificate numbers, so you can check them yourself.

Certified

ISO 9001:2015

Independently certified by BSI under UKAS accreditation. The registered scope is the design, supply and production of 3D printed parts — not a partial or site-limited certification.

In practice it means the process that made your first batch is the documented process that makes the next one, which is what matters when you are ordering repeats months apart.

Approved

PPAP levels 1–4

Production Part Approval Process approval to automotive standards, for programmes that need documented, repeatable process control rather than a certificate of conformity alone.

This is the credential that lets us sit inside a vehicle programme supply chain rather than alongside it. Tell us at quote which PPAP level the programme requires and we will confirm what we can submit.

Certified

Cyber Essentials

Certified against the Cyber Essentials scheme across the whole organisation, covering how we handle customer CAD data and intellectual property. Your files stay inside our own systems and nothing is brokered out.

Much of our automotive work runs under confidentiality agreements we still honour years later. If you need an NDA in place before sending anything, say so and we will arrange it first.

Awarded 2024

King’s Award for Enterprise — Innovation

Awarded for our approach to large-scale additive manufacturing and the technology behind it, including LANDR 500, the large-format FDM platform we engineered and built in-house rather than bought in.

The King’s Award is the highest official UK business honour, assessed on evidence rather than application alone. We were also named Engineering Innovator of the Year in the same year.

Awarded 2026

King’s Award for Enterprise — International Trade

A second King’s Award, recognising sustained export growth into markets including the US, Denmark and Latvia.

Winning in two separate categories two years apart says something different from winning once: the first recognised the technology, the second recognised the business built on it.

Full certificate copies are available on request — tell us what your procurement process needs and we will send them.

Certification

The actual certificates, not just the logos

Both are current, independently issued and downloadable. Verify either directly with the issuing body if you need to.

Certificates are issued to Ryse 3D Ltd, Unit 1 Europipes Estate, Tilemans Lane, Shipston-on-Stour, CV36 4HP. The ISO 9001 registration can be validated at any time through the BSI Client Directory, and the Cyber Essentials certificate carries a QR code that verifies it against the IASME register. Alongside these we operate PPAP level 1–4 approved production processes — ask us and we will supply the documentation pack for your programme.

How it works

What quality control actually looks like on a job

A certificate on a wall is a claim. This is the sequence every part goes through.

1

Design review, before anything is printed

Free with every quote. An engineer checks wall thickness, drain holes, clearances, orientation and grade suitability against your geometry, and tells you what we would change. Catching a problem here costs nothing; catching it after a build costs a build.

2

File and material verification

We confirm scale, units and geometry integrity, and check the grade against what the part has to do. Material is dried where the process requires it, and powder is managed build to build so properties stay consistent across repeat orders.

3

Build preparation and orientation

Orientation is set deliberately, not by default — against your load path on FDM, against your critical bores and show faces on the powder processes. Where you have flagged a tight fit, machining stock is allowed at this stage rather than discovered later.

4

Printing under controlled conditions

Over 100 machines across SLS, MJF, FDM and SLA in a single 8,000 sq ft facility. Nothing is offshored and nothing is subcontracted, so the conditions your first batch was made under are the conditions the next one is made under.

5

Finishing and assembly in-house

Depowdering, bead blasting, vibratory polishing, vapour smoothing, dyeing, A-class paint, threaded inserts and assembly all happen on our own finishing floor — so the part is never handed to a third party mid-process.

6

Inspection against the drawing

Parts are checked before they ship, not after they arrive. Where you have identified critical dimensions, those are the features inspected and reported — not a general sample that happens to miss the fit you cared about. Full detail on tolerances and accuracy.

The number

What we inspect to

Standard tolerance: ±0.3 mm up to 100 mm.

Beyond that, ±0.3 mm for the first 100 mm plus a further ±0.1% for every 100 mm thereafter.

Published up front rather than buried in terms, because it is the question buyers most need answered and the one bureaux are most evasive about. Tighter fits — bearing seats, sealing faces, precise bores — are achieved by printing near-net and machining the critical features, which is the honest route rather than promising a tolerance the process will not repeat. See tolerances & accuracy for the full working.

Honest limits

What we do not hold

Every bureau lists its certifications. Fewer list the ones they do not have, which is the information you actually need when you are qualifying a supplier.

We are not AS9100 certified

We produce parts used in aerospace and UAV applications, but we do not hold the aerospace quality standard. If your programme requires AS9100 accreditation from the supplier, we are not the right fit and we will say so at enquiry rather than at audit.

We are not ISO 13485 certified

We print prosthetic and orthotic components and medical-adjacent hardware, but we do not hold the medical device quality standard. Anything requiring a regulated medical device supply chain needs a different route.

Material certification is the manufacturer’s

Property data on our datasheets originates from the manufacturer’s technical data sheet for each grade. We reproduce it with the test method stated rather than presenting it as our own test programme.

Datasheet values are not design allowables

They come from standard test specimens, not your geometry. For anything load-bearing or safety-related, test the actual part. We will say this every time rather than let a number do work it cannot support.

Flame ratings depend on thickness

A UL 94 rating applies at the thickness it was tested at, not to every wall on your part. Our SLA flame-retardant resin is V-0 at 3 mm, V-1 at 2.5 mm and HB at 1.5 mm — design to the thickness you need the rating at.

We are a polymer bureau

Fibre-reinforced nylon covers a great many load-bearing brackets, housings and ducts. It does not replace steel or aluminium where the safety case demands metal, and we will tell you when that is the answer.

FAQ

Quality & certification FAQ

Is RYSE 3D ISO 9001 certified?
Yes — to ISO 9001:2015, under certificate number FS 830495, issued by BSI under UKAS accreditation. The registered scope is the design, supply and production of 3D printed parts, and the certificate runs to 17 November 2028. The number is published here so you can verify it independently, and full certificate copies are available on request.
Are you PPAP approved?
Yes, to levels 1 to 4. PPAP is production part approval to automotive standards, and it is what allows us to sit inside a vehicle programme supply chain rather than alongside it. Tell us at quote which level the programme requires and we will confirm what we can submit before you commit.
What tolerance do you inspect to?
Our standard tolerance is +/-0.3 mm for parts up to 100 mm in size. For larger dimensions it is generally calculated as +/-0.3 mm for the first 100 mm, plus an additional +/-0.1% for every 100 mm thereafter. Tighter fits are achieved by printing near-net and machining the critical features. Flag those dimensions at quote and we will plan orientation, allow stock and inspect against them.
Are you AS9100 or ISO 13485 certified?
No. We hold ISO 9001:2015 and Cyber Essentials, and we are PPAP 1-4 approved, but we do not hold the aerospace standard AS9100 or the medical device standard ISO 13485. We do produce parts used in aerospace, UAV and prosthetics applications, but if your programme requires either accreditation from the supplier itself, we will tell you at enquiry rather than at audit.
Is my CAD data secure?
Yes. We are certified against the Cyber Essentials scheme across the whole organisation, most recently in February 2026, which covers our handling of customer CAD data and intellectual property. Files stay inside our own systems and nothing is brokered out to a third party, because printing, finishing and inspection all happen in our own facility. We will put an NDA in place before you send anything if you need one.
What are the King’s Awards for Enterprise?
The highest official UK business honour, granted in the name of the monarch and assessed on evidence of sustained performance rather than on an application alone. RYSE 3D has won twice: Innovation in 2024, for our approach to large-scale additive manufacturing and the in-house development of the LANDR 500 large-format FDM platform, and International Trade in 2026, for export growth into markets including the US, Denmark and Latvia.
Can you supply inspection documentation with my parts?
Tell us what you need at quote and we will confirm what we can provide before you commit. Where you have identified critical dimensions on a drawing, those are the features we inspect and report against. For programmes needing a specific inspection regime, a first article report or documentation for an approval pack, talk to us early rather than after the parts are made.
How do you keep repeat orders consistent?
Through the documented process under ISO 9001, controlled material handling, deliberate build orientation recorded per part, and part history held on trade accounts so repeat batches do not need re-quoting or re-specifying. Everything runs on our own machines in one facility, so the conditions do not change between your first batch and your fifth.
