BUTTERFLIES Project was represented at the ISO - International
Organization for
Standardization/TC 261 meeting in Singapore by project partner European
Federation for Welding,
Joining and Cutting (EWF).
During the meeting, Eurico Assunçao presented standardisation gaps and
recommendations
identified through the project. The contribution reflected the standardisation needs identified
through the work carried out so far and brought them into direct discussion with the
international AM standardisation community.
The recommendations shared during the meeting included:
• Harmonised classification, acceptance criteria and traceability for renewable AM
feedstocks;
• Process qualification methods for Binder Jetting with renewable powders;
• Qualification principles for Two-Photon Polymerisation using bio-based resins;
• Expanded Design for Additive Manufacturing guidance covering biomimetic structures,
moisture
sensitivity and degradation during service.
Bringing these findings into international standardisation discussions is an important
step for
BUTTERFLIES Project, helping translate progress in biointelligent
manufacturing into shared
terminology, testing methods and qualification routes that can support the confident use of
renewable materials.
