At FormStrata Ltd, quality isn't a sign-off at the end of a job — it's built into every stage of the process. From material intake through to final inspection, every part we produce is documented, checked, and traceable.
We operate a documented quality management system aligned with the principles of ISO 9001:2015. Whilst we are not yet formally certified, every process we follow — from material intake to part delivery — is structured, recorded, and repeatable.
This means when you receive a part from FormStrata Ltd, it hasn't just been printed and packed. It has been produced from verified, traceable material, on calibrated equipment, to a documented process, and inspected against your specification before it leaves us.
We maintain records for every job — material batch numbers, print parameters, inspection results, and any non-conformances raised and resolved. These records are retained and available on request.
Our goal is simple: parts that meet your specification, delivered on time, with full confidence in their quality. If something isn't right, we'll tell you — and we'll fix it.
Our quality management system has been designed from the ground up with ISO 9001:2015 certification in mind. The records, processes, and inspection procedures we use today align with the standard's requirements for documented information, process control, product inspection, and continual improvement.
Formal certification is part of our roadmap. In the meantime, our clients benefit from the same rigour and traceability that certification demands — without the overhead of a large quality department.
NDA available on request. All project information and client data treated as strictly confidential.
Quality control at FormStrata Ltd happens throughout the production process — not just at the end. Here's how we manage it.
Every job generates a documented trail. Our quality records cover the full production lifecycle and are available to clients on request.
Filament Intake Record
Supplier, batch number, material type, date received, drying details, visual inspection result, and storage location. Retained per spool.
Print Job Record
Job reference, client, file version, material used, slicer settings, print date, print duration, operator notes, and outcome.
Component Inspection Record
Dimensional checks, visual inspection, functional test result, pass/fail status, and inspector sign-off. Issued per part or batch.
Printer Maintenance Record
Scheduled and unscheduled maintenance log, nozzle changes, bed replacements, calibration dates, and equipment condition notes.

Continual Improvement Log
Process improvements identified, actions taken, and outcomes reviewed. Reviewed regularly to drive ongoing quality enhancement.
Transparency
If something isn't right, we'll tell you. No hiding problems, no shipping parts that don't meet spec.
Repeatability
Documented processes mean every job is run the same way — so results are consistent, not down to luck.
Traceability
Every part can be traced back to its material batch, print settings, and inspection record. Full audit trail on every job.
Improvement
We review every non-conformance and use it to improve. Quality gets better with every job we complete.
