ABS to Explore Rapid Verification and Validation of Additive Manufactured Parts
Overcoming Challenges to Widespread Adoption of 3D Printed Parts with Model-Based Qualification (SINGAPORE) ABS is working on a new project to develop a model-based additive manufacturing (AM) qualification framework for the maritime industry with the aim to reduce lead time and cost for AM part approvals. Traditional manufacturing processes rely on physical tests for verification and validation of their mechanical performance, including test coupons, specimens and prototype components. Additive manufacturing, while also currently dependent on physical tests, may potentially
