Additive Manufacturing Standards

As you innovate and push the technological envelope, international standards in additive manufacturing serve as both a guide and a safety net. They provide a framework that integrates new advancements and methodologies, ensuring that your innovations are not only groundbreaking but also scalable, replicable, and globally accepted.

In a discipline where precision, consistency, and innovation are paramount, international standards are the tools that empower us to create, collaborate, and revolutionize with confidence.

The ASTM International Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence is a collaborative partnership among ASTM—and its 30,000 members—and representatives from government, academia, and industry that conducts strategic research and development to advance standards across all aspects of additive manufacturing which will accelerate the development and adoption of robust, game-changing technologies.

Our additive manufacturing training courses are designed to meet the large demand for a skilled workforce to support the rapid implementation of this emerging technology.

These certificate programs are aimed to fill the additive manufacturing knowledge gap by providing world-class training from industry leaders to equip the future additive manufacturing workforce with highly valued technical skills.

Training programs comprise of General additive manufacturing course and role-based additive manufacturing courses. General additive manufacturing course provides a comprehensive understanding of all the aspects of additive manufacturing technology and the role-based courses helps to gain skill sets for specific additive manufacturing roles such as Designer, Application engineer, and Quality Engineer.

Through the Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence’s Research to Standardization initiative, research priorities are identified by the top minds in the field and are matched from the start to the standards that need to be generated to ensure the resulting additive manufacturing technology’s success.

Under the leadership of the R&D team, the Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence’s partners and R2S Collaborators plan and conduct coordinated R&D projects, prioritized annually, and targeted to expedite the additive manufacturing standards needed to address the most critical gaps in the additive manufacturing ecosystem.

Since its inception in 2018, the Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence has launched over 30 R&D projects to accelerate additive manufacturing standardization. Led by our partners and R2S collaborators, these projects seek to generate technical data required for development of consensus-based standards by ASTM committees such as F42.
