What happened?
ASTM International has relaunched its former Advanced Manufacturing Division as the Critical and Emerging Technologies (CET) Division. Additive manufacturing remains a flagship area, now joined by AI, robotics, drones and semiconductors.
Key details
- The CET division is active across roughly ten ASTM committees.
- Its work spans collaborations in 25 countries.
- Additive manufacturing remains one of the main standardization pillars.
- The goal is to coordinate standards, certification, training and technology roadmaps more quickly.
Why it matters
As 3D printing converges with AI, robotics and electronics, it becomes harder to standardize these technologies in isolation. ASTM’s new structure is designed to address that convergence.
