ASTM International also announced the Standards Forum taking place in conjunction with Formnext 2021 at Messe Frankfurt in Germany, Nov. 15, 2021. The forum, “Industrialization of AM through Standardization – How to take AM to the next level?” is jointly organized by the U.S. Commercial Service, ASTM International, and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and supported by Mesago Formnext. The event seeks to build on the success of two previous forums focused on increasing awareness around standardization and fostering transatlantic collaboration in the field.

The one-day event will allow attendees to understand how standards impact the industrialization of AM and how to leverage standards for various AM applications across a variety of industry sectors. The forum will include two keynote sessions, six presentations, two panel discussions, and two break-out sessions.  

Keynote sessions will address the status of AM standards development and the general industry perspective on the use of AM standards. Panel discussions will cover AM industrialization and standards challenges, while the breakout sessions will allow participants to share perspectives and focus on industry-specific needs for AM standards with a particular emphasis on aerospace, medical, automotive, construction, energy, and many others. 

The six presentations will cover:

• Digitalization;
• Big data;
• AM automation;
• Rapid qualification and certification; and
• How standards drive the adoption of AM in different industry sectors.

The forum is open to all engaged in AM activities. To register for the Standards Forum, click here.  

Formnext serves as an international meeting point for the next generation of intelligent industrial production and will be held Nov. 16-19, 2021, in Frankfurt, Germany.
