ASTM International’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) announced awardees of its Call for Projects (CFP) in support of its Research to Standards initiative to further accelerate standards development for additive manufacturing (AM). For the first time, the CFP allowed non-AM CoE partners to propose and receive support for projects focused on closing AM standardization gaps. A…, Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, (Germany) will generate data required to support a new standard for monitoring the health status of optical systems in laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) machines. This work has potential to improve the reliability of additive manufacturing systems while reducing maintenance downtime and costs. “This support provides Fraunhofer ILT with a perfect framework to bolster the industrial adoption…, National Research Council Canada, (NRC), , with partners Swerim (Sweden), Sirris (Belgium), and RISE (Sweden), will develop data to support a new standard for determination of moisture content in AM powder feedstocks, critical to the reliability, stability, and productivity of AM processes. Feedstocks are handled under controlled conditions, however moisture cannot always be avoided, impacting process robustness.
