A new ASTM International standard will provide guidance to medical device manufacturers on the use of powder reuse in powder bed fusion manufacturing processes. ASTM’s additive manufacturing technologies committee ( F42 ) developed the standard, which is now available as F3456 . According to ASTM International member Matthew Di Prima, the new standard explains seven broad reuse schema that will…

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…
