| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a transformative set of manufacturing technologies, but difficulties persist regarding throughput, reproducibility, reliability, and properties of the printed parts and this seriously impacts qualification and certification (Q&C). The Computational Materials for Qualification and Certification (CM4QC) Steering Group, comprised of representatives from the U.S. aviation industry, government, and academia, was established in September 2020 to explore ways of maturing and developing trust in computational materials capabilities for use in the context of Q&C of metal AM for aeronautics applications. Working Group 2 of CM4QC is responsible for exploring approaches for transitioning basic research to industrial applications for metal AM components. The three main aspects of this work that will be described include 1) the need for rigorous verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification (VVUQ), 2) a framework for defining simulation maturity levels, and 3) a methodology for describing how basic research feeds into specific engineering requirements. |
