7 Material Selection Mistakes that Derail Your Project

...and How to Dodge Them Like a Pro

If you’ve ever watched a production-ready part unravel because of a material choice that looked good on paper, you’re not alone.

Material selection is one of those deceptively simple decisions that can spiral into delays, redesigns, and late-night CAD revisions if you’re not careful.

What SICAM's ISO Certification Means for Your Parts: Quality, Reliability, and Peace of Mind

We’ve got big news—SICAM is now officially ISO 9001:2015 certified

Not just a stamp on the wall. Not just a checkbox. This is a serious milestone that backs up everything we’ve been working toward: tighter quality control, cleaner documentation, faster response times, and traceability you can count on. But what does this actually mean for you as an engineer? Let’s break it down without the fluff.
