ASTM International’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) has published Strategic Guide to Certification of Additively Manufactured Parts in Defence Applications, intended to support the qualification and certification of additively manufactured parts for defence applications.

Developed to support the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) and its Project TAMPA initiative, the guide provides defence organisations, manufacturers and suppliers with a common, criticality-based framework for qualifying Additive Manufacturing parts and supporting their certification across air, land and maritime applications. It is also intended to support defence supply chains and allied partners internationally.
