PD ISO/TR 23482-2:2019 - Manufacturing Engineering Guidelines

PD ISO/TR 23482-2:2019 is an essential technical reference for manufacturing professionals and engineers. This British Standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provides comprehensive guidance on the selection and use of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for industrial applications.

Comprehensive Guidance on Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a rapidly evolving field that offers significant benefits for manufacturers. PD ISO/TR 23482-2:2019 explores the various AM technologies available, including:

• Vat photopolymerisation
• Material jetting
• Binder jetting
• Material extrusion
• Powder bed fusion
• Directed energy deposition
• Sheet lamination

For each technology, the standard provides detailed information on the principles of operation, material characteristics, part quality, and typical applications. This comprehensive coverage helps manufacturers select the most appropriate AM technology for their specific needs, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with industry best practices.

Ensuring Compliance and Quality

In addition to technical guidance, PD ISO/TR 23482-2:2019 also addresses critical compliance and quality assurance considerations. The standard covers topics such as:

• Process control and monitoring
• Part qualification and validation
• Safety and environmental considerations
• Maintenance and post-processing requirements

By following the recommendations outlined in this standard, manufacturers can ensure their additive manufacturing processes meet rigorous quality standards and comply with relevant regulations, enabling the production of reliable and high-performance parts.

Whether you're a seasoned manufacturing professional or new to the world of additive manufacturing, PD ISO/TR 23482-2:2019 is an invaluable resource for navigating the complexities of this dynamic industry. Invest in this standard to stay ahead of the curve and unlock the full potential of AM in your manufacturing operations.
