3Deus Dynamics, a deeptech company founded in 2020 out of the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and the academic platform 3d.FAB obtained ISO 9001 and EN 9100 certifications, expanding a quality portfolio that already included ISO 13485, earned in 2023 for its medical activities. The company now holds three distinct sector-specific standards—medical, general industrial, and aerospace-defense—in under five years of operation.

The EN 9100 standard imposes more stringent requirements regarding traceability, risk management, and process control. It serves as a prerequisite for accessing programs run by major aerospace and defense prime contractors and positions 3Deus Dynamics to become a Tier 1 supplier for certain critical components.

3Deus Dynamics’ technical developments span several families of silicone components designed for critical applications. The company produced seals capable of withstanding a kerosene flame at 1,200°C for fifteen minutes, per ISO 2685, for use in hot zones and engine compartments. It also developed electromagnetic shielding (EMC) gaskets that deliver attenuation exceeding 80 dB across a wide frequency range, from kilohertz to gigahertz, thereby protecting onboard electronic systems and reducing the electromagnetic signature of military equipment.

The company’s patented Dynamic Molding process allows the manufacture of complex-geometry parts without dedicated mold tooling, with functional fillers integrated directly into the material. This approach was central to the i-DÉMO project, backed by the France 2030 plan, which aimed to industrialize domestic production of technical silicones through a robotized line suited to medium-volume runs.

“Obtaining EN 9100 marks a defining milestone in our industrial development. It validates our ability to produce reliable components for environments where safety and performance are non-negotiable and opens access to the most demanding programs,” said Julien Barthès, Chief Executive Officer of 3Deus Dynamics.
