A new ASTM International standard will provide advice for designers considering building parts using the powder bed fusion for metals (PBF-LB) process. ASTM’s additive manufacturing committee ( F42 ) developed the standard, which will soon be published as F3530. According to ASTM International member Farhan Khan, the new guide provides an overview of the most commonly used post-processing…

ASTM International’s additive manufacturing (AM) technologies committee ( F42 ) approved a new standard guide for the use of layer-based material extrusion (MEX) processes in additive manufacturing. MEX processes are used to fabricate polymer, or polymer composite, parts by depositing a filament or bead of material from an extrusion head. “The new standard will help product designers take…
