HTRE, Yes, I agree their is no AM requirement defined by the FAA yet for that 3rd party certification but it is a current concern by FAA. The concern is and I quote

14 CFR 43.13(b)

Demonstration of equality of AM repair/replacement parts to their original design

Replacement/repair parts produced by AM using metal powders may
have very different properties than an original part manufactured by traditional processes with traditional materials

AM produced PMA parts may require much more substantiation than PMA parts produced by traditional methods

I'm betting their new AM guidance will require certified 3rd party printing organizations and SGLB will enable AM organizations to do just that.

Currently this is where they are at and PrintRite3D is fitting right in there with this regulation.

Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR
) part 43, § 43.13 requires that all maintenance be performed in such a manner and use materials of such a quality that the condition of the aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine, propeller,
or appliance worked on will be at least equal to its original or properly altered condition.
Compliance with existing regulations must be demonstrated whether a part is being maintained or altered using AM technology or traditional/conventional methods.

Think I've shared plenty of DD to make the case that SGLB enables companies to fulfill this regulation.
