TWI senior technical project leader, Amanda Allison recently spoke to TCT Magazine about the importance and challenges of standardisation, certification and qualification in additive manufacturing.
Amanda explains how new technical and product developments pushed the need for standards frameworks for industry around additive manufacturing, while also increasing their urgency.
The thought provoking discussion with TCT goes on to explain how TWI worked alongside Lloyds Register and a number of TWI’s Industrial Members to explore the certification of metal additively manufactured components for the energy and offshore sectors.
