ASTM Additive Manufacturing Certifications (AMC)

Introduction

ASTM Additive Manufacturing Certifications provide a unified, standards-based framework to evaluate and strengthen additive manufacturing (AM) quality systems, processes, personnel competency, and facility safety. 

ASTM AM Certifications are designed to help organizations improve consistency, increase transparency, and build confidence across the AM supply chain as additive manufacturing scales from prototyping into regulated and production environments. 

Aspects of the ASTM AM Certification

  • Programs are based on published, consensus-based ISO/ASTM standards
  • Program development includes input from industry stakeholders, alongside the requirements specified in standards
  • Close association with ASTM Committee F42 provides insight into evolving industry needs
  • Lessons learned from AM CoE R&D and pilot projects inform program design and refinement
  • Globally recognized and applicable across industries
  • Modular and cost effective
