Additive Construction by Extrusion (ACE) Consortium

The Additive Construction by Extrusion (ACE) Consortium supports efforts to establish the measurement science required for development of the standards and industry for additive construction by extrusion (ACE). The Consortium intends to study the measurement science needs for the successful adoption of ACE by the construction industry, and to identify and propose new standards to address industry needs not met by existing standards.
