Engineers rely on industry standards for safety, which require extensive development time. However, the rapid pace of emerging technologies poses challenges for timely standardization, as reaching consensus on new standards becomes difficult in a fast-changing environment, according to Shawn Moylan from NIST.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is revolutionizing industries by enabling the production of complex metallic components, but it also presents unique challenges in quality assurance. This article examines the vital role of nondestructive testing (NDT) in ensuring the integrity and reliability of AM products.

Manufacturing is evolving through Industry 4.0, advanced robotics, and additive manufacturing, enhancing efficiency, customization, and rapid prototyping while posing challenges around employment and data security.

This article will explore how mass finishing technologies, shot blasting, and bespoke solutions for additive manufacturing (AM) parts play a pivotal role in the final stages of medical device production.

Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is crucial for producing complex, accurate parts with minimal waste. Ensuring the quality of raw materials and finished metal parts is essential for its success. This paper emphasizes the need for compositional analysis and strict quality control in AM.

John Martin, AM Research Director, America Makes, and Christine Bernat, Associate Director, Standards Facilitation, American National Standards Institute, describe how the latest standardization roadmap is affecting the industry, trends with additive standards, and how the wrong type of inspection can prevent you from reaping the benefits of additives.
