ASTM International’s additive manufacturing technologies committee () is developing a suite of proposed standards that will be used for quality assurance and quality control of materials and components used for additive construction with cementitious materials.
The suite includes the following:
According to ASTM member Eric Kreiger, the proposed standards will have several groups of potential users:
This effort directly relates to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals #8 on decent work and economic growth; and #9 on industry, innovation and infrastructure.
“The proposed standards include many key items addressed in the UN SDGs, including potential of the technology to improve productivity and cost of construction,” says Kreiger, U.S. Army Research and Development Center. “In addition, the proposed standards will help improve structural performance and materials usage through geometrical freedom and provide the ability to reduce logistics and produce structures in dangerous and remote places.”
