Standard Terminology for Additive Manufacturing – General Principles – Terminology
SCOPE
1.1 This International Standard establishes and defines terms used in additive manufacturing (AM) technology, which applies the additive shaping principle and thereby builds physical 3D geometries by successive addition of material.
1.2 The terms have been classified into specific fields of application.
1.3 New terms emerging from the future work within ISO/TC 261 and ASTM F42 will be included in upcoming amendments and overviews of this International Standard.
