Shipping Bureau Releases AM Guidance Notes
September 5, 2018Comments
The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has released its Guidance Notes on Additive Manufacturing, establishing a consistent approach to three-dimensional printing of marine and offshore materials and equipment. It defines the processes, including directed-energy deposition, powder-bed fusion and binder jetting as well as a procedure for qualifying additive manufactured parts. The qualification process accommodates flexible fabrication enabling a single additive manufacturing system to produce a wide range of parts, while maintaining repeatable results and allowing for regular evaluation.
“In crafting this guidance, we recognized the importance of flexibility in additive manufacturing and outlined a process that allows for swift changes and alterations without affecting the ultimate quality,” says Demetri Stroubakis, ABS director of material and equipment.
