Additive Manufacturing Expert Interviewed by TCT Magazine

Thu, 16 February, 2023

TWI senior technical project leader, Amanda Allison recently spoke to TCT Magazine about the importance and challenges of standardisation, certification and qualification in additive manufacturing.

Amanda explains how new technical and product developments pushed the need for standards frameworks for industry around additive manufacturing, while also increasing their urgency.

The thought provoking discussion with TCT goes on to explain how TWI worked alongside Lloyds Register and a number of TWI’s Industrial Members to explore the certification of metal additively manufactured components for the energy and offshore sectors.

The interview also explained the importance of standards to increase industry confidence in using additive manufacturing.

Despite this importance, Amanda also revealed the challenges that still exist in this growing area of innovation.
