The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Additive Manufacturing (AM) Program develops standards and benchmarks for AM. See below for some example standards areas NIST AM is involved in. If you're interested in getting involved with any of these, or want to learn more, please contact us.
Standard Reference Data
NIST Standard Reference Data (SRD) is quantitative information related to measurable characteristics/properties of systems or digital data objects used for calibration, interpolation, and/or extrapolation of measured data.
Standard Reference Materials
ANIST Standard Reference Material® (SRM)is a certified reference material issued by NIST that meets additional NIST-specific certification criteria and is issued with a certificate or certificate of analysis. The certificate reports the results of the SRM's characterizations and provides information regarding the appropriate use(s) of the material (NIST SP 260-136).
NIST AM produces SRD to support high quality research and manufacturing. See below for a few examples. Contact us to learn about our other SRD for additive manufacturing.
Additive Manufacturing Benchmark Test Series (AM-Bench)
A continuing series of highly controlled benchmark tests for additive manufacturing, with modeling challenge problems. Results are discussed at the corresponding conference series. Learn more.
