In this editorial, we bring you the latest update concerning rapid prototyping technologies,which of coursemany of you are aware, include many terminologies such as layer manufacturing and solid freeform fabrication, amongst others. The longstanding need to standardize the terminologies within the rapid prototyping andmanufacturing industry has nowbeenmetwith a new ASTMInternational standard, ASTMF2792, Terminology for Additive Manufacturing Technologies. The new document is the first approved standard under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F42 on Additive Manufacturing Technologies, which was formed in 2009.engrapid prototyping technologieslayer manufacturingsolid freeform fabricationASTMF2792Additive Manufacturing Technologieseditorial10.1080/17452759.2010.4814781745-2767
