| 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). After nearly five years of work, the Computational Materials for Qualification and Certification (CM4QC) Steering Group, comprised of representatives from the U.S. aviation industry, government regulatory and research agencies, and academia, has released a comprehensive strategy document that explores ways of maturing and developing trust in computational materials capabilities for use in the context of Q&C of metal AM for aviation applications. Here, the critical roles of verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification (VVUQ) will be discussed along with plans for continued work in these areas. |
