| Abstract Scope |
The implementation of computational materials (CM) tools in qualification and certification (Q&C) of additively manufactured products will require mature software with broad applicability across different material systems. Qualification pathways are based on the ability of these technologies to reach applicable technology and manufacturing readiness levels. These metrics are widely used for the development of prototypes and physical manufacturing of non-AM products and processes, but are less developed in the context of CM tools. While perhaps the most critical issues underlying the adoption of CM tools in Q&C include those of acceptance, adoption, and culture change, there are many other technological and engineering drivers. This presentation will provide an overview of some of those drivers, including build reproducibility, residual stresses and distortion, and fatigue performance. In addition, some of the critical gaps that limit CM maturation and adoption will be discussed. |
