scope:
This standard is aimed at manufacturers of metal powders, purchasers of powder feedstock for additive manufacturing, those responsible for the quality assurance of additively manufactured parts and suppliers of measurement and testing equipment for characterising metal powders for use in powder bed fusion processes. Various terms are used to describe these processes, such as laser beam melting (LBM), laser forming, selective laser melting (SLM®), LaserCUSING®, electron beam melting (EBM®), direct metal laser sintering (DMLS®), laser metal fusion and direct metal printing. The individual processes are described in detail in VDI 3405.
