The IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group (PWG) and the InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS) will share their expertise to establish and maintain industry standards in additive manufacturing/ 3D Printing.
As part of this collaboration, both teams will share existing specifications and standards work as well as coordinate work in progress. The work will be performed under the INCITS Digital Manufacturing Technical Committee, which also serves as the US TAG to ISO/IEC JTC 1/WG 12 (3D Printing and Scanning).
A key focus of this agreement will be made on the development of ICT standards specifically relevant to digitally enabling the prototyping and manufacturing of physical objects.
The scope of the INCITS Digital Manufacturing Technical Committee, in addition to serving as the US TAG to JTC 1/WG 12, includes the development of ICT standards specifically relevant to digitally enabling the prototyping and manufacturing of physical objects. As necessary and when not covered elsewhere, this will include nomenclature, frameworks, interface and protocol specifications, and format specifications required for facilitating the digital control of the production and supply of physical objects including, but not limited to, additive and subtractive fabrication and automated assembly and distribution.
The PWG’s widely adopted IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) industry standard is commonly used for printing today. The PWG has developed extensions to IPP for 3D Printing that bring together its existing IPP network protocol, job ticket formats, printing semantics, and existing high-level 3D file formats. The PWG will contribute its experience in developing IPP to help guide INCITS’ work and ensure congruence between the two groups’ work.
