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…
