MTC to advance additive manufacturing standards with ASTM

The Manufacturing Technology Centre has been chosen by ASTM International, a leading global standards organization, to be the first non-US founding partner of their Centre of Excellence in Manufacturing.
The Centre of Excellence aims to become a global innovation hub that addresses additive manufacturing (AM) needs through the development of technical standards, R&D, education and training, and more. The Coventry-based center saw off major international competition to be chosen as ASTM International's European partner which will involve a funded project to advance AM standards and innovation in Europe and beyond.
Dr. Mohsen Seifi, ASTM's international director of global additive manufacturing programmes, said: "The MTC's proposal was one of the highest ranked among dozens of proposals submitted. Clearly, the MTC will play a key role in achieving the vision of filling industry gaps in standardization and driving innovation on a global scale.”
