| Abstract Scope |
Current AM qualification and certification do not fully incorporate the use of ISPM as part of the qualification/certification strategies. The ideal end-state many have envisioned is an approach in which a part can be printed and put into service without extensive NDE or testing based on an understanding of part quality from ISPM data. Other efforts are focusing on part instead of machine qualification by predicting the life of every part at the point of production based on data captured during manufacturing.
This presentation will introduce a concept called Process-Based Validation which focuses on using ISPM data paired with ICME models to improve the understanding of material quality. Data collected during the Initial Material and Operational Qualification stages would be validated during Performance Qualification, enabling part production with dramatically reduced NDE and/or testing. The concept of PBV will be discussed along with the specific ISPM technologies and potential ICME tools. |
