ASTM Worldwide’s additive manufacturing applied sciences committee (F42) is growing a proposed customary that can cowl setting, well being, and security ideas to be used of polymers with materials extrusion processes.
The proposed customary (WK93787) will present a full overview of necessities for a secure materials extrusion industrial utility and will probably be used to supply uniform and full info to setting, well being, and security practitioners, together with these answerable for conformity and permits.
This effort, per ASTM Worldwide, instantly pertains to the United Nations Sustainable Growth Purpose #9 on trade, innovation and infrastructure, amongst different relevant UN SDG targets. All events, notably these with expertise in additive manufacturing polymer processes, are being inspired to hitch within the improvement of WK93787 and different associated proposed requirements.
“The proposed customary will present tips concerning the secure set up and operation of MEX tools in an industrial setting,” stated ASTM member Francois Richard, Manufacturing Engineering Supervisor, Pratt & Whitney Canada.
At RAPID + TCT final week, ASTM Worldwide additionally introduced a partnership with ASTRO America to advance requirements for large-scale additive manufacturing.
