Additive manufacturing - General principles - Part 2: Overview of process categories and feedstock (ISO 17296-2:2015)

ISO 17296-2:2015 describes the process fundamentals of Additive Manufacturing (AM). It also gives an overview of existing process categories, which are not and cannot be exhaustive due to the development of new technologies. ISO 17296-2:2015 explains how different process categories make use of different types of materials to shape a product's geometry. It also describes which type of material is used in different process categories. Specification of feedstock material and requirements for the parts produced by combinations of different processes and feedstock material will be given in subsequent separate standards and are therefore not covered by ISO 17296-2:2015. ISO 17296-2:2015 describes the overreaching principles of these subsequent standards.

Additive Fertigung - Grundlagen - Teil 2: Überblick über Prozesskategorien und Ausgangswerkstoffe (ISO 17296-2:2015)

Dieser Teil der ISO 17296 beschreibt die Prozessgrundsätze der additiven Fertigungsverfahren (en: Additive Manufacturing, AM). Er enthält auch eine Übersicht der bestehenden Prozess¬kategorien, welche aufgrund der Entwicklung neuer Technologien nicht allumfassender Natur ist und dies auch nicht sein kann. Dieser Teil der ISO 17296 erklärt, wie verschiedene Prozesskategorien ver¬schiedene Arten von Werkstoffen verwenden, um eine Produktgeometrie zu formen. Er erklärt auch, welche Arten von Werk-stoffen in den verschiedenen Prozesskategorien verwendet werden. Spezifi¬kationen für Aus¬gangs-werkstoffe und Anforderungen an Bauteile, die aus Kombinationen mehrerer ver¬schiedener Prozesse und Ausgangswerkstoffe gefertigt werden, werden in weiteren separaten Normen ge¬liefert und werden daher nicht durch diesen Teil der ISO 17296 abgedeckt. Dieser Teil der ISO 17296 beschreibt die gesamt-heitlichen Grundsätze dieser weiteren Normen.

Fabrication additive - Principes généraux - Partie 2: Vue d'ensemble des catégories de procédés et des matières premières (ISO 17296-2:2015)

L'ISO 17296-2:2015 décrit les éléments fondamentaux régissant la fabrication additive. Elle donne également une vue d'ensemble des catégories de procédés existantes, lesquelles ne sont pas et ne peuvent pas être exhaustives compte tenu du développement de nouvelles technologies. L'ISO 17296-2:2015 explique comment différentes catégories de procédés peuvent être utilisées avec différentes matières premières pour réaliser la forme d'un produit. Les spécifications des matières premières et les prescriptions pour les pièces produites par combinaisons de différents procédés et matières premières seront indiquées dans des normes séparées à venir et ne sont donc pas couvertes par l'ISO 17296-2:2015. L'ISO 17296-2:2015 décrit les principes lointains de ces futures normes.

Aditivna proizvodnja - Splošna načela - 2. del: Pregled kategorij postopkov in surovin (ISO 17296-2:2015)

ISO 17296-2:2015 opisuje temeljna načela procesov aditivne proizvodnje (AM). Podaja tudi pregled obstoječih procesnih kategorij, ki ni izčrpen in se ne obravnavati kot takšen zaradi razvoja novih tehnologij. ISO 17296-2:2015 pojasnjuje, kako se pri različnih procesnih kategorijah uporabljajo različne vrste materialov za oblikovanje geometrije proizvoda. Poleg tega opisuje, katere vrste materialov se uporabljajo pri različnih procesnih kategorijah. Specifikacija materialov vhodnih surovin in zahteve za dele, proizvedene na podlagi kombinacije različnih procesov in materialov vhodnih surovin bodo podane v naslednjih ločenih standardih in zato niso zajete v standardu ISO 17296-2:2015. ISO 17296-2:2015 opisuje presežna načela teh naslednjih standardov.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
Additive manufacturing is a versatile technology that can be used throughout the product development
process. The additive manufacturing processes can be used to manufacture prototypes, tool and fully
functional end-use parts. In addition to engineering, the application areas of this interdisciplinary
technology now include fields ranging from e.g. architecture and medicine, to archaeology and
cartography, as well as arts, toys, education, entertainment.
During its somewhat turbulent development, different terms and definitions have emerged which are
frequently ambiguous and confusing. Moreover, there are various different processes available on the
market and it is not always clear what opportunities and limitations they offer in terms of application.
This part of ISO 17296 aims to offer a description of the

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

Introduction
Additive manufacturing is a versatile technology that can be used throughout the product development
process. The additive manufacturing processes can be used to manufacture prototypes, tool and fully
functional end-use parts. In addition to engineering, the application areas of this interdisciplinary
technology now include fields ranging from e.g. architecture and medicine, to archaeology and
cartography, as well as arts, toys, education, entertainment.
During its somewhat turbulent development, different terms and definitions have emerged which are
frequently ambiguous and confusing. Moreover, there are various different processes available on the
market and it is not always clear what opportunities and limitations they offer in terms of application.
This part of ISO 17296 aims to offer a description of the general working principles for the different
process categories and the processing of feedstock material into the desired product geometry. This will
enhance the understanding of the process and improve the communication between the customer and
suppliers of products and services.
The principles and process categories described in this part of ISO 17296 refer to commercially available
technology that has proven practically useful and viable on the market for several years.

Additive manufacturing — General principles —
Part 2:
Overview of process categories and feedstock
1 Scope
This part of ISO 17296 describes the process fundamentals of Additive Manufacturing (AM). It also
gives an overview of existing process categories, which are not and cannot be exhaustive due to the
development of new technologies. This part of ISO 17296 explains how different process categories
make use of different types of materials to shape a product’s geometry. It also describes which type of
material is used in different process categories. Specification of feedstock material and requirements
for the parts produced by combinations of different processes and feedstock material will be given in
subsequent separate standards and are therefore not covered by this part of ISO 17296. This part of
ISO 17296 describes the overreaching principles of these subsequent standards.
