Additive Construction – The Path to Standardization II

https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2024/08/additive-construction-path-standardization-ii Join us on August 20th and 21st at the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence for the 2nd annual in-person, hands-on workshop focusing on standardization for additive construction, or 3D printing with concrete. Registration closes August 9th so don't delay! Sponsored by NIST in partnership with the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), the two-day event will drill down on core issues in standards, codes, and design guidelines. Discussions will contribute to the development of a roadmap for standardization of printing and testing methods. Also, the consortium, Additive Construction by Extrusion (ACE) Consortium, is active on the Federal Register. The Consortium will bring together stakeholders to identify and address gaps in current standards related to materials, methods, structural performance, and engineering design. The Consortium efforts are intended to study the measurement science needs for the successful adoption of ACE by the construction industry, and to identify and propose new standards to address industry needs not met by existing standards. The next meeting will take place at the conclusion of the ACE workshop on the 21st. Followed by ASTM F42.07.07 committee meetings.
