WHY IT MATTERS

Let me explain

Nadcap is administered by the Performance Review Institute (PRI), founded in 1990, and its standards are set by experts from about 60 major companies including Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Airbus, with strict technical audits. Fewer than twenty facilities worldwide hold it in additive manufacturing. The accreditation lets NAMI, founded in 2022 and focused on additive manufacturing and reverse engineering, produce precision aerospace and defense parts locally to international standards, supported under the localization agreement between the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) and Lockheed Martin (NAMI official news, 3 February 2026).
