America Makes and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) have launched Phase 2 of the America Makes & ANSI Additive Manufacturing Standardization Collaborative (AMSC) to update its standardization roadmap for additive manufacturing.
The roadmap describes published and in-development standards and specifications for additive manufacturing, and makes consensus-based recommendations to address perceived gaps in standardization.
The AMSC will retain its existing working groups evaluating the need for standards across the lifecycle of an additively manufactured part. These working groups cover horizontal topics that are applicable to all industry sectors in the areas of design, precursor materials, process control, post-processing, finished material properties, qualification and certification, non-destructive evaluation and maintenance.
