与美国国家标准学院（ANSI）合作，美国制造的组织在美国推动增材制造创新的组织，已发布添加剂制造的标准化路线图，版本1.0。
该文件着重于航空航天，国防和医学的关键行业，确定了89个行业范围的设计，过程和材料，资格和认证，非破坏性测试（NDT）的差距，并维护加法零件。
The document was produced with contributions from, and participation of over 150 manufacturing, and additive manufacturing organizations, including GE, EOS, Autodesk, Arconic, Apple, Boeing and 3D Systems.
个人从Stratasys公司,美国国家航空航天局(NASA)和洛克希德Martin are credited under Special Recognition as contributing authors/editors of the roadmap.
Ensuring the safety of machines and materials
19 of the identified gaps in the roadmap are marked as high priority in terms of the demand for standards and specifications. As process & materials is broken into a further 4 categories, (precursor materials, process control, post processing and the finished material properties) this sector collects more high priority gaps.
一点点在过程中挑出是Machine Calibration and Preventative Maintenancefor which“迫切需要制定日常机器校准检查的准则。”Additionally, the roadmap specifies a need to better understand the properties and effects in producing recycled materials for additive manufacturing,就像在塑料瓶中变成adidas的运动鞋。
目的特定设计
指出出于特定目的的软件程序的增加，例如Renishaw’s ADEPT project to create plates and surgical guides for the skull，设计优先级是Application-Specific Design Guidelines,with the added necessity to record the best practices.
在设计类别中还指出，是正确清洁医学添加剂制造成分的制造残留物的指南。
质量控制
As discussed in our伯明翰大学Amplab的Moataz Attallah教授的访谈, there is growing necessity for specialist training of additive manufacturing design and processes. The US添加剂制造的标准化路线图highlights one are of this demand in training for“handling imaging data and preparing for printing”或者，换句话说，用于3D打印和处理3D扫描的CAD建模。
In addition, it asks for a guide to verification of a 3D printable model in relation to its purpose.
International standardization
As of the 1st March 2017,英国发布了2017年数字策略。Though not specific to additive manufacturing, this document highlights a strategy for the proliferation of FabLabs, Makerspaces, and government funded Tech Hubs, and links back to促进该国北部的经济。
在德国一月份宣布了联邦数字部并将负责包括工业4.0，数字教育和初创企业在内的领域。在西班牙和自2011年以来Barcelona has become a leader in the advancement of the Fab City concept。
In November 2016,Australia published a roadmap for advanced manufacturingand “unlocking future growth opportunities for Australia” and Canada has the加拿大制定计划，该计划将推动技术的使用和工业化的使用。
