Between 10th and 13th March, the DILAPRO Project was represented at the prestigious ISO/TC 261 – Additive Manufacturing meetings held in Knoxville, Tennessee. This participation marked a crucial step in our ongoing efforts to bridge the gap between current industry standards and the future of digital certification.

Aligning Standards with Digital Innovation
The primary objective of the mission was to ensure that the requirements for Additive Manufacturing (AM) standards evolved alongside the needs of the digital transition. Our team was actively involved in several critical working groups to ensure that the project’s developments remained at the cutting edge of the sector. Key contributions were made within:
• JG 75: Focused on industrial conformity assessment at additive manufacturing centres.
• JG 73: Dedicated to digital product definition and data management.

Driving Cutting-Edge Solutions:
The frameworks discussed and the insights gathered during these sessions were highly aligned with DILAPRO’s core goal: developing advanced software tools for the laser-based production of complex components. By participating in these global standardisation activities, the project ensured that its Quality Module and the DILAfact platform were built upon internationally recognised protocols.

A Commitment to the Digital Transition:
Moving forward, DILAPRO remained fully committed to driving and supporting these vital standardisation efforts. The knowledge gained in Knoxville was instrumental in refining our approach to digital twins and real-time monitoring, ensuring that our solutions provided the trust and reliability required for widespread industrial adoption.
