Industry Standards in Additive Manufacturing (AM)

This module is part of a bundled training course, the iAM Engineer and iAM Quality Manager certificate line.

ABOUT THE COURSE

This paid course focusing on current standards for Additive Manufacturing and how to apply them to your business. 

In all industries, standards ensure that processes do not have to be redefined again and again and that there is an approach that is generally recognized. In additive manufacturing, contrary to widespread assumptions, standardization is already on the right track. DIN committees and the Joint Committee of ISO and ASTM unite a large number of relevant market participants and already provide a good range of standards. The question arises in which areas standardisation is advantageous for whom. Particular focus will be placed on safety-relevant topics.
