What is new?

DIQAM stands for Digital Qualification Framework for Additively Manufactured Space Components and is part of ESA’s FIRST! initiative. The project addresses digital quality and qualification data for space components, rather than introducing a new printer.

3DPS perspective

Real-world suitability should be evaluated against production, cost and reliability data as these become available.
