The standard was developed by ASTM International’s subcommittee on materials and processes, part of the larger committee on additive manufacturing technologies (F42).
Industrial computed tomography has been a buzz-worthy technology for several years, and NDT experts know it’s a valuable tool for inspecting the complex internal geometries of 3D-printed parts, or for finding porosity in both additively and traditionally manufactured parts.
Generation Z, a demographic cohort comprised of people born from the mid 1990s to the early 2000s, is the first generation to have no memory of life before cell phones, laptops and widespread use of the Internet.
This step sets a framework for the company to work with DNV GL having the goal of producing 3D-printed parts created on Aurora machines to be independently certified as fit for their in tended purpose and meeting global certification requirements.
