Les technologies de fabrication additive sont de plus en plus utilisées : d'abord réservées au prototypage rapide, elles permettent aujourd'hui de réaliser des outillages et des pièces. Par rapport aux méthodes classiques pour lesquelles les pièces sont soit moulées à un format spécifique soit obtenues par usinage ou découpage d'un bloc de matière, la fabrication additive permet de construire des formes tridimensionnelles par couches successives. L'objectif du présent document est de proposer un premier ensemble de termes et définitions dédiés au domaine de la fabrication additive.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
