* The AMDC will subsequently launch a follow-up
project for titanium (Ti 6-4)
* SAE affiliate PRI will announce a dedicated AM task
group in its Nadcap accreditation program
Finally, SAE has recently announced the formation
of a separate aerospace standards committee, G-37.
This committee is dedicated to developing guidance
documents to support the downstream mechanics
involved in certifying PIMs. The first instance will be
metal additive manufacturing. In addition to
developing a framework for PIMs, the group
endeavors to incorporate best-practices from MBSE
(model-based systems engineering) to help
streamline the certification process.
Alas, collectively, we may never settle on a precise
definition for innovation. Although we can agree that
- with a quickly changing technology such as additive
manufacturing in the context of aviation - we need a
fundamental understanding of the science. Much of
this information needs to be codified and available in
the public domain to help ensure quality/safety.
Industry consensus standards provide such a vehicle.
In closing, congratulations to the leadership and all
the individual contributors of AMS AM. It has been a
prolific eight years! Meanwhile, the dawn of additional
elements within the SAE AM ecosystem have helped to
provide the pathway to certified parts. It is an enormous
benefit to all of us in the aviation community. Indeed, it
is a journey that has been much anticipated! n
