Additive manufacturing - General principles - Part 4: Overview of data processing (ISO 17296-4:2014)

ISO 17296-4:2014 covers the principal considerations which apply to data exchange for additive manufacturing. It specifies terms and definitions which enable information to be exchanged describing geometries or parts such that they can be additively manufactured. The data exchange method outlines file type, data enclosed formatting of such data and what this can be used for.
ISO 17296-4:2014 enables a suitable format for data exchange to be specified, describes the existing developments for additive manufacturing of 3D geometries, outlines existing file formats used as part of the existing developments, and enables understanding of necessary features for data exchange for adopters of the International Standard.
ISO 17296-4:2014 is aimed at users and producers of additive manufacturing processes and associated software systems. It applies wherever additive processes are used, and to the following fields in particular: production of additive manufacturing systems and equipment including software; software engineers involved in CAD/CAE systems; reverse engineering systems developers; test bodies wishing to compare requested and actual geometries.

Fabrication additive - Principes généraux - Partie 4: Vue d'ensemble des échanges de données (ISO 17296-4:2014)

L'ISO 17296-4:2014 traite des principales considérations qui s'appliquent pour l'échange de données dans le domaine de la fabrication additive. Elle spécifie les termes et définitions qui permettent d'échanger des informations décrivant des géométries ou des pièces afin de pouvoir les fabriquer selon la technique additive. La méthode d'échange de données présente le type de fichier, les données incluses, le formatage de ces données et la manière dont elles peuvent être utilisées.
L'ISO 17296-4:2014 permet de spécifier un format adapté pour l'échange de données, décrit le processus existant pour la fabrication additive de géométries en 3D, présente les formats de fichier existants utilisés dans le processus existant, et permet aux utilisateurs de comprendre les éléments nécessaires à l'échange de données.
L'ISO 17296-4:2014 s'adresse aux utilisateurs et aux fabricants de procédés de fabrication additive et de systèmes logiciels associés. Elle s'applique dès lors que des procédés de fabrication additive sont utilisés, notamment dans les domaines suivants, production de systèmes et équipements de fabrication additive, y compris les logiciels; ingénieurs logiciels utilisant des systèmes de CAO/IAO; développeurs de systèmes de rétro-ingénierie; organismes d'essai souhaitant comparer les géométries réelles aux géométries prescrites.

Aditivna proizvodnja - Splošna načela - 4. del: Pregled obdelave podatkov (ISO 17296-4:2014)

ISO 17296-4:2014 zajema osnovne načine obravnave, ki se uporabljajo za izmenjavo podatkov za aditivno proizvodnjo. Določa izraze in definicije, ki omogočajo izmenjavo informacij z opisom geometrij ali delov za aditivno proizvodnjo. Metoda izmenjave podatkov opredeljuje datotečno vrsto, obliko teh podatkov v samih podatkih in možnosti njihove uporabe.
ISO 17296-4:2014 omogoča določitev ustreznega formata za izmenjavo podatkov, opisuje obstoječe napredke za aditivno proizvodnjo 3D-geometrij, opredeljuje obstoječe oblike zapisa datoteke, ki se uporabljajo kot del obstoječih napredkov, in omogoča razumevanje potrebnih funkcij za izmenjavo podatkov za uporabnike tega mednarodnega standarda.
ISO 17296-4:2014 je namenjen za uporabnike in načrtovalce procesov aditivne proizvodnje ter povezanih sistemov programske opreme. Uporablja se v vseh primerih uporabe aditivnih procesov in zlasti za naslednja področja uporabe in uporabnike: načrtovanje sistemov aditivne proizvodnje in opreme, vključno s programsko opremo; razvijalci programske opreme na področju sistemov CAD/CAE; razvijalci sistemov povratnega inženiringa; preskusne entitete, ki želijo primerjati zahtevane in dejanske geometrije.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

ISO 17296-4:2014(E)
Introduction
Additive manufacturing are an inherent part of the product development process. They are used to
manufacture prototypes, tools, and production parts.
In addition to engineering, the scope of this interdisciplinary technology now covers fields ranging from
architecture and medicine to archaeology and cartography.
During its somewhat turbulent development, different terms and definitions have emerged which are
frequently ambiguous and confusing. Moreover, there are different processes available on the market
and it is not always clear what opportunities and limitations they offer in terms of application.
This International Standard aims to offer field-tested recommendations and advice to users (customers)
and manufactures (both external and internal service providers), to improve communication between
customer and supplier, and to contribute to an authoritative performance design and a smooth handling
of the project.
It assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of the process flow of different additive processes. It
explains the processes used in practice in only much detail as it necessary to understand the statements.

4.1 Dataflow
4.1.1 General
A complete 3D data set of the part forms the basis of additive manufacturing. Most commonly, this is
created by direct 3D CAD modelling. The data sets can also be generated by measurements if the parts
exist in a physical form (see Figure 1).
A representation based on facets is then generated from the volume or area model through polygonization
or triangulation (see 4.1.2.4) and transferred to the additive manufacturing process in STL or VRML
format (see 4.2.2 and 4.2.3). This software-assisted process runs automatically as far as possible.
