| Abstract Scope |
The Additive Manufacturing Benchmark Series (AM Bench) provides the AM community with rigorous measurement datasets for model validation that are permanently archived and freely available. In 2022, through a collaboration that includes nearly a hundred scientists from 11 divisions within the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and 19 external organizations, AM Bench has conducted 34 modeling challenges for the AM community and released eight comprehensive sets of metal and polymer AM benchmark data. Here, the AM Bench 2022 organization, goals, collaborators, measurements, challenges, and data management systems will be introduced. |
