Additive manufacturing processes have been called by a wide variety of terms since the early days of development. As these names are often mixed academically and industrially, the demand for standardization of terms has gradually increased. Accordingly, the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) are in the process of establishing standards for the names and definitions of important terms related to additive manufacturing. Although Korea has also begun to establish KS standards based on ISO/ASTM standards, the Korean language and definitions of important terms related to additive manufacturing as defined by ISO/ASTM have not been fully organized. Therefore, the similar terms defined in ISO/ASTM in many academic and industrial literature are called by various Korean terms. Thus, this work deals with suggestions on the Korean terminologies and standardization of important terms related to additive manufacturing based on ISO/ASTM standards. Especially, this paper deals with the Additive Manufacturing and seven sub-process classifications.
