ASTM International Developing Additive Manufacturing Standards

[Brian_Krassenstein]

As additive manufacturing technology continues to progress, there will need to be a set of standards adopted by the manufacturing industry in order to assure quality products are being produced which are safe. ASTM International is working on a standard set of guidelines to use within the industry for Powder Bed Fusion machines. More details about what these standards of 3D printing encompass can be found here: http://3dprint.com/13367/astm-international-standards

What do you think? What types of standards could be put into place to assure safety and quality of products which are 3D printed?

If they set standarts for filaments in order to avoid bad prints or bad filaments causing clogs or bubbles on prints im ok with that, go for it
