Abstract

Additive manufacturing is a set of technologies potentially covering the needs of many industrial sectors, some of which require the certification of the final product. This is the main motivation explaining why the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are putting significant efforts into defining standards covering different topics in this area. Efforts that very soon have become joint efforts to rapidly realize common standards under the name of ISO/ASTM standards. In this paper, the state of the art of these efforts is presented and discussed.
