About the Webinar
Presented by ASTM International and EOS
Join Maryna Ienina of EOS and Paul Bates of ASTM International for this complimentary webinar!
Key takeaways:
– Get a deeper understanding about the ASTM operator certification program
– Getting involved with this certification program (understanding the process of getting certified, why, what, and how to get certified)
– Why its important to qualify operators
– What this certification means to a metal PBF-LB operator
– How the operator certification program can support your QMS system
What is the ASTM PBF-LB Machine Operator Certification?
With Additive Manufacturing (AM) scaling from prototyping to production of critical components, the need to verify the competency of machine operators is increasing. In response to the market demand for a standard approach to qualify operators, ASTM International has developed a certification program that applies to personnel operating metal laser powder bed machines.
The operator certification program applies to:
- Any contract that requires compliance to ISO/ASTM 52942 for qualified operators for the metal AM machines and associated equipment.
- Any application standards that calls out operator qualification (OQ) as a requirement.
- Demonstrate your organization’s commitment to quality by ensuring qualified metal AM operators.
