Preparation for certification of industrial AM manufacturing facilities according to DIN EN ISO / ASTM 52920

The machine capability test is a useful component in the preparation for the certification of industrial additive manufacturing facilities according to DIN EN ISO / ASTM 52920. In the machine capability test, the spatial distribution of the actually achievable mechanical-technological properties within the machine build space is determined. For this purpose, the installation space is divided by a grid into segments, in each of which a test specimen is to be manufactured. The results of the tensile tests allow these properties to be analyzed and assigned to the individual segments of the build envelope. For visualization purposes, a heat map can be created that shows in color whether predefined limit values have been reached or not. Based on this, the machine can be adjusted.  Important parameters for the initial verification as well as the ongoing control of the industrial machine capability are the mechanical-technological properties according to DIN EN ISO 6892-1: Determination of the 0.2% yield stress Rp 0. 2 [MPa] Determination of the 1% yield stress Rp 1.0 [MPa] Determination of the tensile strength Rm [MPa] (for austenitic materials)Determination of the elongation at fracture Ac [%] Determination of the fracture position Young's modulus [GPa] Included Services Provision of a segmented construction job with the desired number of segments and corresponding test specimens for your build spaceTest specimen certificate and instructions Shipping label incl. pick-up and shipping tracking Execution of the tensile tests in an accredited laboratory Test report from TÜV NORD as PDF Heatmap to visualize the distribution of the test results within the build space (see example image) For other options e.g. further individual build space configurations please contact us.
