Additive manufacturing for automotive - Qualification principles - Generic machine evaluation and specification of key performance indicators for PBF-LB/M processes (ISO/ASTM DIS 52945:2022)

This document defines the methodology for generic AM-machine evaluation in automotive
environment using objective test criteria and provides the framework for an objective AMmachine
evaluation and comparison. This document finds application in benchmarks,
preparation of purchase decisions, but also AM-machine evaluation within the machine
procurement, acceptance, and qualification process. The methodology and performance
characteristics are introduced to enable evaluation on an objective and quantitative basis. The
documentation resulting from the AM-machine evaluation is used to obtain a reliable orientation
selection and evaluation of PBF-LB/M AM-machines.
Furthermore, this document specifies machine KPIs in the context of machine procurement,
production planning and production of PBF-LB/M components. It aims to reach a detailed
understanding between machine supplier and machine customer with respect to the acceptance
criteria during the procurement process and evaluation of machine performance during running
production.
This document is applicable to the additive manufacturing technology LPBF-M defined in
ISO/ASTM 52900.

Introduction
This document provides a methodology to evaluate PBF-LB/M AM-machines in the context of automotive
on an objective basis. The need to provide a document standardizing this topic exists because in
high-volume industrial production, the reproducibility of the produced component is crucial to meet
production goals. Therefore, reproducibility and capability of the machines used for manufacturing
need to be evaluated upfront. A methodology and performance characteristics are introduced to enable
the evaluation on an objective and quantitative basis. The documentation resulting from the AM-
machine evaluation is used to obtain a reliable orientation selection and evaluation of PBF-LB/M AM-
machines.
Moreover, the document provides guidelines for machine production KPIs which can be used in
procurement, production planning and production to improve the understanding between the machine
manufacturer and user.
The requirements regarding quality and planning of build jobs are specific for the automotive industry.
The introduced generic approach can be expanded to other industries.

4 Methodology for generic machine evaluation
4.1 Specification of Use-Cases
4.1.1 General
This clause introduces the methodology of generic machine evaluation. The generic machine evaluation
shall be used to carry out an assessment to evaluate the performance of a PBF-LB/M machine on a
defined objective basis.
The methodology of generic machine evaluation introduced here is not intended to define and verify
compliance of target metrics, but should instead be used to generate information and efficiency metrics
to enable machine assessment and comparison. Further details of the machine acceptance process are
shown in ISO/ASTM TS 52930.
The generic machine evaluation shall be used to generate a sufficient, neutral, and documented
evaluation basis for two different use-cases, which are described 4.1.2 and 4.1.3.
4.1.2 Use-Case 1 – Benchmarking of machines (evaluation reference according to 4.2.5):
The framework and methodology introduced in 4.3.1 shall be used in the context of benchmarking
of machines. Therefore, a minimum of 1 run of the described build jobs according to 4.2.2 shall be
produced and tested in the described way. To strengthen the statistical significance of the benchmark,
production and evaluation of additional build jobs shall be necessary. This is an option at the discretion
of the machine manufacturer or the user.

ISO/ASTM DIS 52945:2022(E)
4.1.3 Use-Case 2 – Generic evaluation in factory/site acceptance test (according to ISO/
ASTM 52930-1):
The framework and methodology introduced in 4.3.1 shall furthermore be used in the machinery
procurement process, more specific in the factory and site acceptance test. Before using the methodology
the specific target values for the performance, indicators shall be agreed on between user and machine
manufacturer. During factory and site acceptance test, at least one build job run is mandatory.
This methodology can also be used to evaluate build job-to-build job performance. For a better
evaluation of the machine, further evaluations of build jobs with specific relevant part designs can
be taken into consideration. The frame conditions for such specific build jobs can be derived from the
framework of the expected (future) build jobs, or be pre-arranged by agreement between machine
manufacturer and user.
4.2 Specification of specimen and build job design
4.2.1 Specification of generic specimen and testing standards
In the following, the test specimens used in the generic construction jobs and for the evaluation of
these construction jobs as well as the associated tests are defined. This clause gives an overview of
the relevant use cases for the generic machine evaluation and introduces the framework for the data
generation (specimens used, test methods, build job design and quality requirements).
Since specimens are not sufficiently described in ISO/ASTM 52902, new specimen geometries to be
used throughout the generic build job are introduced in Table 1.
Part, as well as build job powder removal methods cannot be changed, in order to maintain consistent
mechanical and surface quality of the specimen. The surface measurement shall be performed prior to
the porosity measurement.
The introduced methodology is applied to quasi-static mechanical properties, relative density, and
surface. Further properties (e.g. dynamic and cyclic properties) are excluded on purpose and can be
included in individually designed build jobs following this methodology or individual agreements
between user and machine manufacturer.

The requirements for the generic build job are:
— The specimen packages shall be stacked in z for the maximum z-height possible within the present
machine design (e.g. for a 400 mm z-height shall be 3 layers of specimen packages, 112 mm each);
— The specimen packages shall be distributed homogeneously and with equal distances;
— The build job shall contain a packing density of approximately 30 % containing specimen packages
and measured from the volume in the bounding box of the full build envelope in x-y and the height
of the build job (z);
— The machine manufacturer shall provide the exact packing density and spacing used for the
assessment as part of the documentation.
For further testing and evaluation of the specimen packages and single specimen from the
specimen packages, distinctive naming shall be assigned. The distinctive naming is described in

For the machine evaluation, a representative number of each specimen package layer shall be tested.
Due to the different ability of machines to realize full field laser exposure, the build envelope is divided
in 4 equal areas. From these areas, a minimum of 21 specimens per layer (for round build envelopes), or
a minimum of 25 specimens per layer (for square build envelopes), shall be taken for evaluation. Upon
agreement, a different number of specimens can be considered.
The specific positions are marked in red in Figure 4. In case the build envelope is restricted due to screw
