The draft ISO/ASTM DIS 17295 “Additive manufacturing — General principles — Part positioning, coordinates and orientation” has changed from status DIS (“Draft International Standard”- draft for enquiry, subject to public input) to FDIS (“Final Draft International Standard” – draft for final approval vote). This final draft specifies best practices related to the positioning and orientation of objects made by AM in respect to the reference frame of the AM system at hand.
The document of the final draft provides information on:
- Machine coordinate systems
- Orientation and types of bounding boxes
- Build orientation, position and notation
