Thanks for this informative post. I never heard of EASA before. I did a little digging and our partner Materialize achieved the EASA certification this year. http://www.tctmagazine.com/3D-printing-news/materialise-achieves-certification-for-3d-printing-end-use-parts-aerospace-industry/

I like this part "The EN9100 is a certification of quality assurance for the aeronautic and aerospace sector. The EASA Part 21G certifies that an organisation can deliver parts with a Form 1 and indicates that the parts are “ready to fly”. By certifying one of the most advanced and mature additive manufacturing production facilities in the world, Materialise now aims to address the demands of partners throughout the aerospace sector.
Currently, the certifications apply to the manufacturing of plastic parts but there are plans to certify additional materials in the future. Perhaps the company’s recent addition of a metal 3D printing option to its industrial service offering could indicate there are plans to certify the production of parts in lightweight metal polymers such as aluminium."

I look forward to the Q2 con call. I'd like to know progress with Materialize partnership on this" Karel Brans, Strategic Partnership Manager of Materialise, notes, “With Streamics automation and control system, the platform supports the workflow in an AM environment, automating several steps along the way and assuring quality and traceability. Linking the Sigma Labs PrintRite3D® product to our software platform enables our mutual users to benefit from this valuable technology from within their trusted Materialise environment.”
