Additive Center

The Standardized Path to AM Excellence for Critical Applications

Additive Center and ASTM International have joined forces to deliver the industry’s most rigorous, end-to-end service, rapidly maturing AM suppliers towards globally recognized certification.

The Challenge: Innovation at Risk

Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers unparalleled innovation, but scaling it successfully requires a level of quality assurance and documentation that traditional supply chains struggle to provide. For high-tech Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) relying on AM parts at the technical limit, inconsistent supplier maturity presents a critical risk to product quality and time-to-market

Inconsistent Part Quality

Fragmented supplier capabilities lead to high variability and part failure risks in critical applications

Slower Time-to-Market

Prolonged qualification and auditing cycles delay the introduction of innovative products.

Unpredictable Costs Part Qualit

High quality assurance costs (e.g., CT scanning) due to lack of upfront process control.
