PartsToGo expands certified AM production for regulated industries with TISAX Level 3, targets EASA Part 21G

PartsToGo, a German additive manufacturing service bureau based in Karlsbad, has achieved TISAX Level 3 certification, strengthening its position in regulated industries. The company, which already holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and EN 9100 certifications, now adds information security validation critical for automotive and aerospace projects involving sensitive CAD data. PartsToGo also announced plans to obtain EASA Part 21G production organization approval by the end of 2026, enabling certified manufacturing of flight-worthy components. The service bureau focuses on FDM/FFF technology using Stratasys systems and high-performance polymers for aerospace applications.

This move reflects the broader maturation of AM service economics, where certification infrastructure — not machine speed — determines eligibility for high-value production contracts. PartsToGo is positioning at the intersection of two demand verticals: aerospace, where EN 9100 and EASA Part 21G are table stakes for serial part production, and automotive, where TISAX Level 3 enables secure handling of proprietary design data. The company is following a pattern seen across the service bureau segment: investing in formal quality management and data security to move beyond prototyping into qualified small-series and spare-part production. This is particularly relevant for polymer FDM, which has long been undervalued in aerospace despite its suitability for non-structural components, tooling, and interior parts using materials like ULTEM and PEEK.

For PartsToGo, the practical next step is executing the EASA Part 21G certification process, which requires demonstrating consistent process control, material traceability, and quality documentation across its FDM production line. Buyers in aerospace and automotive should evaluate PartsToGo based on its certified process chain rather than machine specifications alone — the certifications are the differentiator. This is a proportional, incremental expansion that strengthens the company's value proposition in a segment where trust and compliance matter more than throughput.
