PPAP in AM: Ensuring Quality, Consistency, and Providing Confidence

Requirements for serial production via AM include the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). Gain an understanding of PPAP so that you can develop your processes to support production requirements. This panel will provide an overview of the PPAP process and how AM needs to be constrained. Attendees will gain insights into their role and what they need to do to successfully launch their applications into production.

The requirements, terminology, and process will begin to coalesce with the constraints needed to meet production compliance. Only when AM Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) understand how to work with PPAP and production requirements can we start to remove the resistance of manufacturers’ Supplier Quality Engineers (SQEs) as they evaluate and approve programs for production. Attendees will be able to ask our experienced experts specific questions about understanding and implementing practices to support production requirements.
