If you have questions about additive manufacturing, the experts are here to help. From ASTM to ISO to countless additive manufacturers, there is an organization that can address your specific application.

In this article, we review key standards that currently exist and provide an overview on recent updates and potential changes that will impact and benefit users of machine vision technologies. We also look at the work of various organizations to understand how their standards may impact the machine vision market.

The Resonance Acoustic Method (RAM) is a long-standing nondestructive test (NDT) that measures the structural responses of a part. These responses are a set of unique and measurable natural frequency (resonance) data.

The next revision of ASTM E1417 has been published, and a lot is changing. Here are several changes that you should be aware of.

Peel testing in force measurement can be rather open-ended in terms of how the standard operating procedures (SOP) can be written.

Both the automotive and aerospace industries continue to drive the development of lightweight steels, stronger aluminums, and composite materials.

A major milestone in Digital NDT was reached this February— the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E07.11 subcommittee published the new ASTM standard E3147-18 on DICONDE Interoperability.  This new standard should help further establish DICONDE in Digital NDT environments and increase the benefits of its use.

Regular tensile testing is important for checking rigid plastics through the entire manufacturing cycle, from the raw material to the forming process and ultimately the production part.

More than ever before, plastics are being used to manufacture consumer and commercial goods across the world. From medical devices to automotive fasteners, plastics have made their way into nearly every industry.

Compression after impact (CAI) testing involves subjecting a specimen to a prescribed impact load, checking the state of damage to the specimen by a nondestructive method, and then performing compression testing of that specimen.
