ASTM’s AM CoE brings together the best minds in additive to drive industrial adoption through standards, research, training, certification, and expert advisory—helping manufacturers integrate AM and accelerate qualification and certification.
The ASTM Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence (AM CoE) operates as a global hub for additive manufacturing (AM), convening respected experts, institutions and industry leaders to promote responsible adoption of AM. It offers an integrated platform covering the full AM ecosystem—from pre‑standardisation research and data generation through material and process standardisation, to workforce training, certification programmes and strategic advisory services. This end‑to‑end approach bridges AM with traditional manufacturing workflows, enabling agile and distributed production. The centre’s credibility is bolstered by collaborators such as contributors to the Wohlers Report and by events like the International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM) that gather hundreds of presentations from leading voices in AM science, engineering and policy. Its offerings include research‑to‑standards initiatives, role‑based training and e‑learning (e.g. design for AM, quality assurance and safety), certification programmes for facilities and personnel, and strategic advisory services delivered through Wohlers Associates. The AM CoE aims to make additive manufacturing “better, faster,” and to support organisations from initial exploration through to scaling production in regulated environments
