What SICAM's ISO Certification Means for Your Parts: Quality, Reliability, and Peace of Mind 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.
Why the ‘Right’ Plastic Isn’t Always Obvious: A Guide for Consumer Product Prototyping Why the ‘Right’ Plastic Isn’t Always Obvious: A Guide for Consumer Product Prototyping Choosing the right plastic material for a consumer product part that requires quality If you’re deep in the weeds of consumer product prototyping, you know this isn’t just a materials science pop quiz. It’s the difference between a product that ships and one that gets quietly shelved.
