Additive manufacturing of metals - Qualification principles - Qualification of coordination personnel
Product Designation: AS ISO/ASTM 52935:2025
Abstract: AS ISO/ASTM 52935:2025 identically adopts ISO/ASTM 52935:2023, which specifies qualification requirements for coordination personnel in industrial manufacturing sites responsible for additive manufacturing of metal parts. Applicable to all metallic processes that are described by ISO 17296 2. Skills, tasks and responsibilities for different levels of AM coordination personnel are typically adapted according to the applicable regulations, depending on the process
