Abstract

There are many aspects that continue to be worked on and developed to enable greater uptake and utilisation of AM materials. As with many other areas in materials science, data is at the heart of all this. Appropriate measurements generate the trust and assurance in the data needed to develop the models and digital twins allowing them to be used to predict in service performance and accelerate product design. Measurements are also essential to enable the correct control of processing conditions and parameters to ensure high quality products are produced.

With so many potential areas of measurement requirement two consultation workshops were held. The first on 22nd June 2021 to generate a more detailed insight on the metrology requirements of the AM industry and where they feel a focussed effort from NPL would be of benefit to provide the greatest impact to the industry and accelerate the uptake of AM parts. The second held on 3rd December 2021 which was more of a deeper dive into regulations, codes and standards. The following report summarises the two workshops.
