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…
