TWI and Lloyd's Register study 3D printing standards in joint project
Recently, the international welding research organization TWI and the global engineering, technology and business service organization Lloyd's Register jointly launched two new research projects aimed at exploring the standards and compliance regulations of additive manufacturing technology. These organizations previously participated in another 3D printing related project called "Certification of Laser Powder Additive Manufacturing Parts for Industrial Applications in the Energy and Marine Sectors".
In the 3D printing industry, especially the industrial 3D printing industry, establishing standards, specifications and regulations remains a challenge. It is conceivable that the introduction of new manufacturing technologies also means new test methods for materials, structural components, etc. Fortunately, many researchers, companies, and organizations have accepted the challenge and are committed to establishing such standards and regulations.
TWI and Lloyd's Register are two such organizations, and they once again collaborate to solve the current challenges facing industrial 3D printing. Their two cooperation projects are called "Regulations and Standards for Additive Manufacturing" and "Products and Materials with Metal Additive Manufacturing", and are expected to be officially launched at the TWI conference in Cambridge, UK on January 24, 2017.
As shown above, the first of the two projects will explore the route of the components selected by the project sponsor to comply with the regulations, and will check the generated data and evaluation criteria of the components through a third party. By accepting technical services and support, from design, manufacturing to testing and inspection, this will enable them to gain a leading position in their competition.
The second project, "Adding Metals to Manufacture Products and Materials," aims to facilitate the process of designing, manufacturing, and repairing parts composed of 3D printed and welded components. This will involve solving the current "real world gap" in control, data, testing and inspection. By the end of the project, TWI and Lloyd's Register hope to give project sponsors the confidence to use the above components, especially in the energy, marine and offshore industries.
Both TWI and Lloyd's Register have dedicated time and resources for research related to additive manufacturing, especially in the field of exploring and establishing standardized methods for industrial equipment. In addition to their joint project, the two companies also provide customers with support in integrating 3D printing and advanced manufacturing into their production processes. Both companies are members of a number of additive manufacturing working groups, and the owners of the Lloyd's Register Foundation (LR) have also funded research to address the security challenges of adopting additive manufacturing technologies.
