This criteria document provides guidance on the essential elements to be addressed in any proposed standard for the construction of metallic pressure retaining equipment using powder bed fusion additive manufacturing. It is intended to be used as a reference document for proposals for additive manufacturing Code Cases or additions to codes and standards. Both laser and electron beam energy sources are permitted by this guideline. Hybrid construction incorporating AM components joined (welded or brazed) to non-AM components is acceptable. Design and fabrication of additive manufactured components joined to other AM components or non-AM components would follow the requirements for the applicable ASME construction code or standard. The Additive Manufacturer and the Powder Supplier maintain a quality program as defined by the construction code.
