Challenge

Relatively recent developments, such as digital data acquisition, automation, data analysis, and data sharing have the potential to exponentially accelerate the AM development timeline. This exponential growh has not yet been observed due to gaps in the ability to easily share data and in the consistency of data that is gathered across groups.

Impact (Standardization Gaps)

Work Item: WK72172

Standards Gap Addressed:

AMSC Gap D19: Organization Schema Requirement and Design Configuration Control

Solution

A standard, defining a minimum subset of data entries and the taxonomy of those data entries, is a key first step towards data sharing. The work in this project will establish a first draft of a common data dictionary for AM, best practices for data sharing, and a data management roadmap that integrates the needs of various agencies.

Deliverables

  • Draft of a common data dictionary for AM processes and measurements that also defines relationships between these items.
  • A roadmap to future data management standards and best practices based on key stakeholder feedback.

How can I participate?

  • Support through Research and Development

    Through the AM CoE, research priorities are identified by the top minds in the field and are matched from the start to the standards that need to be generated to ensure the resulting AM technology’s success.

  • Consortium for Materials Data and Standardization

    Consortia for Materials Data & Standardization (CMDS) enables companies of all sizes from across the entire additive manufacturing ecosystem to collaborate on standardizing the best practices for materials data generation.

  • Explore On-Demand Webinars

    The webinar series provides guidance sessions on multiple and diverse topics in AM Design, Fabrication, Post-processing, Mechanical testing, Non-destructive evaluation, Applications, and Qualification and Certification.

  • Education & Workforce Development

    Comprehensive program that educates and trains the additive manufacturing workforce at all levels, while continually incorporating new advances to respond to industry needs and leverage standardization, certification, and AM CoE partner expertise.
