Overview

This document specifies the principal requirements applied to the testing of parts produced by additive manufacturing processes. This document: - identifies quality characteristics for feedstock and parts and the corresponding test procedures, - provides the specific procedures to build specimens using additive manufacturing process, and - recommends the scope and content of test and supply agreements. This document is aimed at machine manufacturers, feedstock suppliers, AM system users, part providers, and customers to facilitate the communication on main quality characteristics. It applies wherever additive manufacturing processes are used. This document has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 261 "Additive manufacturing" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 438 "Additive manufacturing", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR (France). The responsible national standardization committee is Joint Working Committee NA 145-04-02 GA "Additive Fertigung - NWT, NAS & NL Gemeinschaftsarbeitsausschuss Metalle und Luft- und Raumfahrt" ("Additive Manufacturing - NWT, NAS & NL Joint working committee Metals and Aerospace") at DIN Standards Committee Technology of Materials (NWT).
