The Technology Exchange on Coordination of U.S. Standards for Additive Manufacturing, which is co-hosted by America Makes and the Center for Innovative Materials Processing through Direct Digital Deposition (CIMP-3D) at Penn State, will take place on October 7th and 8th at University Park, PA. The event is co-sponsored by ASTM International, SAE International, ASME, AWS, and SME. The objective of the Technology Exchange is to initiate dialogue for development and coordination of additive manufacturing (AM) standards. The first day is focused on providing updates and perspectives by organizations involved in the development of AM standards, while the second day is devoted to needs from the user community. The second day will also involve establishing two collaboration groups for detailed discussions on coordination of standards and development of performance qualification protocols. Facilitators will be utilized during these discussions to define areas for coordination and organizational collaboration.
