…has released additive manufacturing (AM) polymer specifications for the aerospace industry. AMS7100: Fuse Filament Fabrication Process and AMS7101: Material for Fused Filament Fabrication reportedly represent the first specifications released under the AMS-AM Additive Manufacturing Non-Metallic (AMS-AM-P) committee, according to SAE International. These standards were created after a request from airlines through the International Air Transport Association (IATA)'s EMG to be able to realize additively manufactured plastic cabin parts. “Both additive manufacturing users and producers will benefit from implementing AMS-AM standards,” says Paul Jonas, director of Technology Development & Programs at the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) and AMS-AM-P Chair.…
