Standardization of AM Doesn’t Happen by Chance — It Happens Through Vision and Collaboration

Standardization in Additive Manufacturing doesn’t happen by chance. It’s driven by resilient leadership and analytical thinking, guided by the vision of scalable AM.

 

That’s why we meet at least twice a year to move things forward.

The next Joint ISO/TC 261 – ASTM F42 Group Meeting on Life Cycle Assessment for AM will take place on September 23, 2025, in Manila, Philippines.

This second meeting of the ISO/TC 261/JG 84 group, convened by DIN and led by Gregor Reischle, will focus on the development of ISO/ASTM PWI 52964 – Additive manufacturing – Environment Health & Safety – Qualification principles for life cycle assessment of parts, processes, equipment and materials.

The meeting will also consolidate expert feedback from ISO/TC 207 SC5 on LCA methodology.

Standards take time. But once they’re in place, they unlock real industrial success in AM:
• Aligned compliance & conformity enables scale
• Aligned communication across the sector prevents confusion and misleading marketing
• Focus on business creation

Looking forward to seeing you all again and continuing the dialogue – shaping the future of standardized, responsible manufacturing.
