AM Forward Program and
SAE AMS-AM standards

EBM 3D printed titanium wheels.
At the same time, AMS AM standards provide
flexibility to accommodate the disparate
organizations that comprise the global aerospace
ecosystem. Thus, larger companies that have
significant intellectual property (IP) can withhold this
information from the general public concerning the
actual process. These data are captured in a
document known as the Process Control Document
(PCD). Alternatively, a public PCD can be published to
ensure that small companies without the same level
of engineering endowment have the exact receipt to
consistently produce aerospace-grade parts. The
discretion of the level of specificity ultimately
depends upon the document sponsor.
Finally, the process of developing these
specifications is reassuring in its own right. AMS AM
standards are developed under the aegis of
consensus from a broad collection of industry
stakeholders, including regulatory agencies, therefore
ensuring the quality and continued safety of AM
parts. Indeed, it takes a village...
There are no public financial commitments to date
associated with the AM Forward program.
Nevertheless, for AM enthusiasts, this is a powerful
UPDATE
sign that Washington is mindful
of: a) the utility of this
technology for aerospace, and b)
the fragility of the AM supply
chain, most of which consists of
SMEs. The industry is at a midlevel
Technology Readiness Level
(TRL).
Standards will continue to play
a critical role in this
industrialization process - the
ultimate goal is to increase the
TRL, reduce costs, and ensure
" near perfect " quality. Aerospace,
in particular, needs this level of
scrutiny afforded by the AMS AM
community. These specifications
will continue to shape the
industry and provide invaluable
direction to OEMs and SMEs
alike. In fact, the AM Forward
could be just what the industry
needs to take additive to the
next flight level. n
