How it works
From a registered design to a certified part
The workflow is intentionally simple. You register the part once, then every printed instance follows the same path: produce locally, submit the evidence, get a human-signed certificate.
What this certification is — and isn't
A Verifab3D certificate confirms that a specific printed part was produced and inspected against the pre-defined acceptance criteria for that design, and that the achieved quality and manufacturing consistency meet those criteria. It is not an ISO, CE, FDA, MDR, or other regulatory certification, and it does not on its own make a part a regulated medical device. Each user, hospital, or manufacturer remains fully responsible for their own regulatory compliance in their jurisdiction. Verifab3D is a tool that helps you achieve part of that compliance — documented manufacturing evidence and independent human review — not a substitute for it.
- 01
Register your part
Add your part to the catalogue. Together we create part-specific QA documentation — the acceptance criteria, test plan, and checks each printed instance must pass.
- 02
Get a qualified manufacturer
Either get accredited as a Verifab3D manufacturer yourself, or use one of our accredited manufacturers. If neither is possible for your situation, we can still certify on a per-part basis.
- 03
Print locally and submit data
Produce the part on-site and submit the evidence: photos, measurements, dimensions, filament serial numbers, bill of materials, and any other part-specific details defined in the QA documentation.
- 04
Human-reviewed certificate
Each part is reviewed remotely by a human reviewer who checks the submitted data against the validation criteria and issues a certificate for that specific part — including the validation data and a clear go / no-go decision.
- 05
Trusted, documented part
You end up with the physical part plus its certificate of quality — making the part fully documented and trustworthy enough to use in regulated settings.
Capacity building
Training and support, on demand
Certification is only part of the journey. We also build the skills and systems your team needs to operate confidently in a regulated, distributed manufacturing environment.
NGOs & humanitarian teams
Training on quality assurance workflows, documentation, and safe local production for mission-critical hardware in low-resource settings.
Hospitals & clinics
On-site or remote guidance on integrating certified 3D printing into clinical supply chains, from staff training to record-keeping.
Manufacturing companies
Advisory on adapting existing production lines for regulated distributed manufacturing, including documentation and process validation.
3D-printing companies
Structured accreditation pathway, operator qualification, and ongoing support to enter the high-value certified-parts market.
Transparency
Our validation document templates
We value transparency. The templates we use to accredit producers, agree product criteria with customers, and record inspection evidence are published here — review them, or use them as a starting point for your own quality system.
