Seattle-based Dyndrite, makers of the GPU-accelerated computing engine for next-generation digital manufacturing, has joined ASTM’s International Consortium for Materials Data and Standardization (CMDS). As a member, Dyndrite will collaborate with industry leaders to standardize requirements for AM material data and create shared, high-pedigree “reference” data sets, accelerating the adoption of metal AM technologies.
Dyndrite aims to address the problem of individual companies bearing the costs of developing materials and considering their results as their exclusive property. The CMDS initiative will enable material data sharing at a fundamental level, allowing companies to retain their intellectual property and reduce repetitive costs.
Dyndrite has also launched its first end-user AM application, Dyndrite Materials and Process Development for LPBF, designed for materials and process engineers developing new metal alloys and parts for laser-based metal 3D printing. The GPU-based 3D application leverages Dyndrite’s Accelerated Computation Engine (ACE) for various optimization capabilities.
To promote standardization, Dyndrite will release build recipes that demonstrate how standardized designs of experiments (DoE) can be made using ASTM data standards. ASTM members can use these recipes in all major OEM file formats, creating a common framework for build file generation and other functionality.
“We are pleased that Dyndrite has decided to join the CMDS initiative and prioritize the need to standardize the data workflows necessary to generate high-level material data,” said Richard Huff, Director of Industry Consortia and Associations, ASTM.
“We are excited to integrate Dyndrite solutions to drive consistent application of requirements and maximize the efficiency of CMDS data generation activities.”
The CMDS initiative is aimed at accelerating qualification and assisting in greater adoption of AM technologies. Dyndrite joins existing members such as AddUp, Auburn University, Boeing, Desktop Metal, EOS, Fraunhofer IAPT, GE Additive, GKN Additive and others.
