Additive manufacturing is a kind of advanced manufacturing technology developed in recent years. It is expected to be applicative in aerospace, automobile, medical, mold with complicated inner tunnel, etc. Standardization is demanded in certain stage of technology development, and it is meaningful for normalizing industry, elevating skills as well as improving product quality. To promote standardization level in the field of additive manufacturing, many organizations such as Society of Automobile Engineer (SAE) International, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) did lots of research work and series of standards have been published. On these basis, national standard, local/profession standard, group standard have been formulated thereof. These standards are very important for development and application of additive manufacturing technique. In this paper, the research progress of standards on additive manufacturing both domestic and abroad is summarized, and their characteristic and future development trend are analyzed. It can be helpful for researchers who focus on additive manufacturing.
