1 Scope
This document specifies the activities and responsibilities of the AM operators in
the field of the additive manufacturing (AM) technologies dealing with metallic parts
production.
This document is intended to provide guidance for qualification of AM machine operators in general industrial applications. Where industry-specific requirements exist for
the qualification of AM operators, such as ISO/ASTM 52942 for aerospace applications, those industry-specific standards are used instead of
this document.
