What a great experience at ASTM Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence’s 13th Snapshot Workshop! The event here at Texas A&M University brought together industry #leaders, #researchers, and #innovators to discuss the future of #metal additive manufacturing and the critical role of standardization in driving adoption across sectors. Key takeaways from the workshop: ? Manufacturing is inherently imperfect; success lies in risk reduction. ? Qualification strategies should start with IQ and OQ as baselines, then prioritize PQ based on criticality classification or customer requirements. ? Simplification is key—how simple and boring can we make #AdditiveManufacturing? ? Identifying which process parameters truly matter for effective in-situ monitoring is essential. ? With #LPBF, material properties and melt pool dynamics can be optimized to balance toughness, strength, and surface roughness. ? The urgency is real—shipbuilding alone faces a 40,000 labor-hour monthly backlog. Standardization through centers of excellence like ASTM AM CoE is paving the way for consistent quality, streamlined processes, and accelerated adoption of additive manufacturing technologies. Excited to see how these insights will shape the future of #AM innovation! Let’s keep the conversation going—what do you think are the next big steps for advancing additive manufacturing? #AMCoE #AdditiveManufacturing #Standards #Innovation
