scope:

This standard covers supplementary guidelines for evaluation of mechanical properties including static/quasi-static and dynamic testing of metals made by additive manufacturing in an effort to standardize terminology that should be used when reporting results from testing of directly printed samples and/or those excised from printed parts made by this technique. The standards listed in the draft are currently being used for conventionally processed materials (e.g. cast, rolled, wrought) and serve as a guideline for this supplement
