2025-09-01 · Standards & Regulation
The standards landscape now includes guidance for feedstock reuse, automotive machine evaluation and electron-beam equipment qualification.
What changed
ASTM's additive-manufacturing standards catalogue lists standards covering powder reuse, automotive qualification, finished-part properties and IQ/OQ/PQ for PBF-EB equipment.
Why this matters
Standards do not make a machine or part qualified by themselves. They give engineering and quality teams a common framework for deciding which evidence must be produced and reviewed before production claims are accepted.
