What is Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM), noun process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies.

Synonyms: additive fabrication, additive processes, additive techniques, additive layer manufacturing, layer manufacturing and freeform fabrication.

Rapid prototyping, noun additive manufacturing of a design, often iterative, for form, fit or functional testing or combination thereof.

Technician Education in Additive Manufacturing (T. E. A. M.)

T.E.A.M. is a collaboration of two NSF funded Advanced Technological Education Centers and a Professional Organization

The National Resource Center for Materials Technology Education; National Center for Rapid Technologies; and ASTM

Develop Additive Manufacturing (AM) core competencies and curriculum, based on emerging Global AM Standards.

T. E. A. M. GOALS

Goal 1:

To facilitate creation of Additive Manufacturing core competencies and to develop uniform instructional elements and focused educational and training outcomes, T.E.A.M. will lend its knowledge and expertise to support F42 and its stakeholders in the development of Global Additive Manufacturing Standards.

T. E. A. M. GOALS (cont)

Goal 2:

To improve technician education training programs and to increase student career eligibility (employability/progression), T.E.A.M. will provide tools, expertise and a documented process model that integrates core competencies and relevant derivatives into manufacturing technician programs, aligned with the emergence of standards in real time.

11

T. E. A. M. OBJECTIVE

How will this information be shared?

Dissemination of the core competencies and curriculum through professional development opportunities, websites, conferences, professional organizations and appropriate publications. ASTM F42 Technical Committee over 120 members globally.

12

Why was ASTM Selected?

American Society for Testing and Materials International (ASTM)

Is one of the largest voluntary standards developing organizations in the world. ASTMs strength is in developing and publishing standards based on a proven process.

13

ASTM ROLE

Facilitate the development of full-consensus Global Standards for Additive Manufacturing Technologies through F42. Assist with publishing and disseminating a complete set of Additive Manufacturing Standards. Connect stakeholders input and review of competencies for validation.
