Validation and certification of 3D printed parts is getting easier as standards efforts mature and process monitoring capabilities take aim at consistent quality.

The roadmap identifies key technological/technical challenges that, if solved, would encourage industry collaboration and technology development, according to ASTM.

Advances in artificial intelligence, in-situ monitoring and process control are picking away at longstanding concerns about additive manufacturing part quality, but more work needs to be done.

Over 12,000 ASTM standards operate globally. Defined and set by us, they improve the lives of millions every day. Combined with our innovative business services, they enhance performance and help everyone have confidence in the things they buy and use.

The program demonstrates additive manufacturers’ capability to produce parts with consistent quality by complying with published ISO/ASTM standards with a multi-industry focus, ASTM reports.
