## Summary

Mohsen Seifi, Global Director of AM Programs at ASTM International, explains how consensus-based standards accelerate additive manufacturing industrialization and quality. He details key standards like ISO/ASTM 52900 for terminology and ISO/ASTM 52901 for purchasing parts, which enable trust in distributed manufacturing supply chains. Seifi advises quality engineers to actively participate in standard development to ensure consistency, repeatability, and scalability in production.
