Technology & Products
Key Products
SAE AMS-AMDC (Additive Manufacturing Data Consortium); Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS); Digital Standards Alliance; ARINC Industry Activities; Defense Automotive Technologies Consortium (DATC)
Technological Advantage
Direct path to SAE AMS standardization and inclusion in MMPDS, providing the only industry-accepted method for generating pedigreed AM material property data for safety-critical qualification.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces aerospace material qualification costs by sharing the burden of data generation and standardization across industry stakeholders, enabling faster certification of safety-critical parts.
How They Differentiate
Focuses specifically on the creation of 'specification minima' and pedigreed datasets required for SAE AMS standards, which are the primary reference for aerospace regulatory compliance.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Aerospace OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, AM material producers, and testing laboratories.
Industry Verticals
Aerospace; Defense; Automotive; Space
Competitors
ASTM International (AMCOE); America Makes; NCAMP (National Center for Advanced Materials Performance); NIST
Growth & Milestones
Growth Metrics
Annual revenue of approximately $4M; manages over 10 global industry consortia including the SAE AMS-AMDC.
Major Milestones
2020: Launch of the SAE AMS-Additive Manufacturing Data Consortium (AMDC); 2023: Launch of the Digital Standards Alliance to modernize standard consumption; Integration of AM material data into the Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization (MMPDS) handbook
