A review for advancements in standardization for additive manufacturing

The need for standardization is important for all sectors starting from industrial manufacturers to delivering it to the consumers. The acceptance of AM in all aspects of manufacturing is always subjected to a lack of additive manufacturing standards. This issue is always being addressed by an eminent group of researchers, and scientists and organizations over the last three decades for developing the desired qualified standards in additive manufacturing. However, ASTM) and ISO along with different research groups have been working with high integrity to resolve this aspect to a greater extent across all sectors. The current research signifies the adoption of standards between ASTM and ISO for enforcing it globally by law with the inculcation of common AM standards. This work emphasizes recent development carried by such organizations and projects, depending on pathways laid by the conductance of several workshops with a focus on developing new standards in this field.
