In January 2009, ASTM International organized F42 Committee and defined Additive Manufacturing. In 2011, ISO/TC 261 was established under the secretariat of Germany. And in the same year both parties signed a partnership agreement, the collaborative work of ISO and ASTM has started as the first cooperation in history. Japanese committee member has been participating as a Participating member of ISO/TC 261 since 2013, and are proposing ISO standards and formulating translation JIS for Additive Manufacturing. In this presentation, the speaker will introduce the latest trends and activities of Japanese domestic standardization committee for AM.
Dr.Khalid Rafi is the Global Lead Engineer for Additive Manufacturing at UL. He serves as a participating member in various international/national standard committees such as ISO/ASTMF42, ASME, SMF-SDO and authored over 40 research papers in international journals and conferences.
Dr.Rafi has received a Masters and Ph.D in Metallurgy and Material science, from Indian Institute of Technology Madras.
The introduction of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies has the potential to transform modern industrial production, but it also brings new considerations for the manufacturers. Product redesign, reduced tooling costs, replacement parts and supply chain redesign are only a few of the benefits this technology brings to manufacturing. While existing standards are sufficient for traditional manufacturing techniques, they do not address the new quality and safety risks introduced with AM.
This presentation will provide an overview of how existing standards / standards under development for AM, and industry best practices can be effectively used to accelerate the industrialization of AM in terms of Materials, Process, End product, Equipment & Facility Safety.

3D printers and their convenience are recognized, and the number of things that can be produced by technical innovations in recent years has increased dramatically. The purpose of use and intent have been clarified, and the market for professional 3D printers has been booming in recent years.
In this presentation, we will explain the current state of utilization in Japan and future prospects based on the technology of 3D printer and market trends. In addition, we will introduce realistic advice such as how to propose to management in order to increase opportunities to utilize in companies from many use cases.
