Thom not only welded but also managed the [quality inspection](https://www.superiorjt.com/services/ndt-inspection/nadcap-non-destructive-testing), documentation, and certifications as required by various aerospace and defense industry standards like Nadcap and SAE International. The nature of this work requires attention to detail, a creative mind, and, not least, a curiosity about how things are made and problems are solved." "Metal fabrication’s relationship with technology is wide-ranging as well, and much of it hinges on how operations manage change. A new press brake with offline simulation and programming can create an incredibly extensive staged setup across the press brake bed, something that would have been impossible even for the most skilled setup person to create so quickly. So even if a shop has amazing press brake operators, it often makes sense to invest in new technology to stay competitive"  (Heston, 2020).  To learn more about STJI and their featuring on the FABRICATOR magazine, [click here](https://www.thefabricator.com/thefabricator/article/shopmanagement/the-fabricator-and-fma-celebrate-50-years-together) to read the full article.  ## NADCAP and Industry Certifications for Welding and CNC Machining - Superior Joining Technologies is a Woman-Owned Business. - FAA Repair Station OP Spec (3SJR972Y) Certified for Welding, Fluorescent Penetrant and Magnetic Particle Inspection. - UTC Aerospace Approved to AWS - Fusion Welding for Aerospace Applications. - United States / Canada Joint Certified [(certificate).](https://www.superiorjt.com/hubfs/JCP%20Approval%20%20Letter.pdf) - Smithers ISO 9001 [(certificate)](https://www.superiorjt.com/hubfs/ISO%20Certificate%20Superior%20Joining.pdf) and AS9100 [(certificate) ](https://www.superiorjt.com/hubfs/AS%20Certificate%20Superior%20Joining.pdf) - Nadcap Accredited for Fluorescent Penetrant and Magnetic Particle Inspection [(certificate)](https://www.superiorjt.com/hubfs/Certificate%20Nadcap%20(Aerospace)%20NonDestructive%20Testing%20audit%20%23%20237421%20(2).pdf), Fusion Welding, Laser Welding [(certificate)](https://www.superiorjt.com/hubfs/Certificate-Nadcap-Aerospace-for-Welding.pdf) - Woodward, Inc.
