To be recogniszed by ASTM International for our AM capability and to be included as the first non-US partner is a great honour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MTC\u2019s National AM Centre includes an industrial scale end-to-end facility encompassing metals, polymers, and ceramics technology. The MTC has expertise in material testing, process simulation, design, and part inspection, all of which support robust AM process chains.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement coincides with significant expansion of the Centre, including a $20m UK-government funded project to develop the next generation AM factory for aerospace parts.<\/p>\n<p>Professor David Wimpenny, MTC\u2019s chief technologist, notes that the MTC also has strong links with research and industrial partners worldwide which will help strengthen the activities and amplify the investments made through ASTM International.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Wimpenny says that MTC is interested in supporting the development of training courses to foster a workforce pipeline that will, in turn, support rapid industry growth.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement was made today at the first meeting of the Center of Excellence\u2019s R&amp;D Team at Auburn University in Alabama, US.<\/p>\n<p>MTC\u2019s David Wimpenny, chief technologist, participated in the meeting along with the Center of Excellence\u2019s other founding members \u2013 EWI, Auburn University, and NASA \u2013 who were jointly announced in March.<\/p>\n<p>The team discussed how it would plan priorities with respect to R&amp;D projects that could be funded by <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/astm-international-announces-first-additive-manufacturing-proficiency-testing-program\/\">ASTM International<\/a><\/span>, industry consortia, and external sources.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the US Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Drug Administration, and the National Institute for Standards and Technology shared regulatory perspectives on certification of 3D printed products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASTM International announces that the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), based in Ansty Park, Coventry, UK, is joining ASTM International\u2019s recently-announced Center of Excellence in Additive Manufacturing.
