Certs are table stakes; the real hurdle is process qualification and allowables. Are you running AWS D20.1-qualified PQR/WPS for 17-4, IN625, and Ti-6-4 with fatigue and heat treat data that drops into a MIL-STD-31000B TDP, and can the machines run fully air gapped with offline toolpaths for depot repairs on legacy parts?

ITAR/ISO are table stakes; for flight-worthy hardware the blocker is proven allowables and process control. Do your partners have AWS D20.1 or ISO/ASTM 529xx-qualified procedures, in-situ monitoring/NDE, and published S-N and da/dN data for wire-laser Ti-6-4 or 17-4, including HIP/HT and build orientation effects? Without that, most programs will limit parts to noncritical use.
