1. Scope

This document specifies a classification of the imperfections likely to be generated during an additive

Rationale

The rationale: they represent items that have been approved for joint development between F42 and TC 261. We can also pull the rationale statements from the original registration of the 2 work items that are in addition to what I gave you above. That she put some meat on the rationale bones and make all three consistent.

The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
