General Information about upcoming AM standards:
| **Standards** | **Scope** | **TC** | **Deadline** |
| --------- | ----- | -- | -------- |
| **ISO/ASTM TS 52949** — Additive manufacturing of metals - Qualification principles - Installation, operation and performance (IQ/OQ/PQ) of PBF-EB equipment (ISO/ASTM/DTS 52949:2024) | **Stage:** **Voting on a new proposal of the document**<br><br> <br><br>· This document addresses installation qualification (IQ), operational qualification (OQ), and performance qualification (PQ) issues directly related to the additive manufacturing system that has a direct influence on the consolidation of material. The first three elements of process validation, process mapping, risk assessment, and validation planning, are necessary pre-conditions to machine qualification, however, they are outside the scope of this document.<br><br>· This document covers issues directly related to the AM equipment and does not cover feedstock qualification or post processing beyond powder removal | ISO/TC 261 – Additive Manufacturing | <br><br>**10 August** |
| **ISO/ASTM DIS 52937 -** Additive manufacturing of metals — Qualification principles — Tasks and related skills for AM | **Stage:** **DIS Ballot**<br><br> <br><br>· This document describes AM design related tasks and corresponding skills for designing AM parts made by metal AM processes.<br><br>· This document is thought to provide guidance for selection, training, and development of personal in adesigning role related to metal AM processes. | ISO/TC 261 – Additive Manufacturing | <br><br>**26 August** |
| **ISO/ASTM FDIS 52967 -** Additive manufacturing for aerospace — General principles — Part classifications for additive manufactured parts used in aviation | **Stage:** **Voting on a new proposal of the document**<br><br><br><br>· This practice is intended to be used to assign part classifications across the aviation industries that use AM to produce parts.<br><br>· This practice is applicable to all AM technologies defined in ISO/ASTM 52900 used in aviation.<br><br>· This practice is intended to be used to establish a metric for AM parts in downstream documents.<br><br>· This practice is not intended to establish criteria for any downstream processes, but rather to establish a metric that these processes can use.<br><br>· The part classification metric could be utilized by the engineering, procurement, non-destructive inspection, testing, qualification, or certification processes used for AM aviation parts.<br><br>· The classification scheme in this practice establishes a consistent methodology to define and communicate the consequence of failure associated with AM aviation parts. | ISO/TC 261 – Additive Manufacturing | **7 September** |
| **ISO/ASTM PWI 52970 —** Additive manufacturing — Data — Data capturing and structure for PBF-LB/M machine log | **Stage:** **New work item**<br><br><br><br>· This document specifies the uniform structure of the machine log file for PBF-LB/M machine operations, aimed at facilitating further processing.<br><br>· It is confined to the data provided by a PBF-LB/M machine during or after the production process. Data from additional monitoring systems like Melt Pool Monitoring or thermographic cameras is excluded.<br><br>· The primary considerations applicable to machine log capturing, provision via Internet of Things (IoT), interfaces, and structure are described. Furthermore, the minimum necessary machine data and a standard structure for the output are given.<br><br>· This document is intended for users and providers of additive manufacturing systems, Quality Assurance (QA), and associated software systems. It is applicable wherever PBF-LB/M processes are used.<br><br>· While specific details directly relate to PBF-LB/M, generalized machine log requirements can be related to any AM process. | ISO/TC 261 – Additive Manufacturing | **10 September** |
| **ISO/ASTM 52911-1 —** Additive manufacturing — Design<br><br>Part 1: Laser-based powder bed fusion of metals | **Stage:** **Vote to start a revision**<br><br><br><br>· This document specifies the features of laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) and provides detailed design recommendations.<br><br>· Some of the fundamental principles are also applicable to other additive manufacturing (AM) processes, provided that due consideration is given to process-specific features.<br><br>· This document also provides a state of the art review of design guidelines associated with the use of powder bed fusion (PBF) by bringing together relevant knowledge about this process and by extending the scope of ISO/ASTM 52910. | ISO/TC 261 – Additive Manufacturing | **18 November** |
| **ISO/ASTM 52911-2 —** Additive manufacturing — Design — Part 2: Laser-based powder bed fusion of polymers | **Stage:** **Vote to start a revision**<br><br><br><br>· This document specifies the features of laser-based powder bed fusion of polymers (LB-PBF/P) and provides detailed design recommendations.<br><br>· Some of the fundamental principles are also applicable to other additive manufacturing (AM) processes, provided that due consideration is given to process-specific features.<br><br>· This document also provides a state-of-the-art review of design guidelines associated with the use of powder bed fusion (PBF) by bringing together relevant knowledge about this process and by extending the scope of ISO/ASTM 52910. | ISO/TC 261 – Additive Manufacturing | **18 November** |
