Digital Engineering
Digital engineering revolutionizes the design of complex products and systems through the integration of models, simulation, and other digital tools. Modeling and simulation are emerging as key engineering tools in all parts of the product design lifecycle, and ASME is developing standards to provide guidance at the forefront of advancements in modeling and simulation, digital twin technology, advanced manufacturing (AM), and artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML).

The B89 Standards Committee on Dimensional Metrology is comprised of experts in the field of Metrology and has published twenty-eight documents, including eight standards and technical reports within the B89.7 series on measurement uncertainty. They have twenty-six Project Teams that report to six Divisions: length, geometry, coordinate measuring technology, general principles and definitions, environment, and measurement uncertainty.

The MAM Manufacturing and Advanced Manufacturing Standards Committee was formed to coordinate, promote and foster the development of standards or related products that provide rules, guidance, and examples of the design, manufacture and quality assurance of additively manufactured parts or relating to advanced manufacturing. There are four subcommittees under the MAM Standards Committee in addition to the working group on additive manufacturing for nonmetallic materials applications.
Additional proposals are under consideration, including a practical, best practice guide on design for AM workflow practices, and a guideline document for suppliers and aircraft manufacturers on FAA Type certification processes and documentation. The NMEx Working Group is developing documents relating to nonmetallic, Materials Extrusion (ME), a type of Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D Printing (3DP).
