Nice to see that NASA working on developing AM standards internationally and Doug Wells is still doing it. Doug's been doing this for so time and I'm certain he's very well aware of SGLB.

Although various organizations have standards they follow for AM parts and flight hardware, many of these standards are customized, in-house standards that are considered proprietary and not shared nationally. Doug Wells, senior engineer for structural materials at Marshall Space Flight Center, is working to develop standards not only for NASA but also as a part of the national effort for overall qualification and certification of AM parts.

“What NASA and [specifically] Doug are doing can help bootstrap qualification of fracture critical AM parts for spaceflight applications, and more generally, qualification of AM parts for our national economy for commercial use, including the automobile and medical sectors,” said Waller. “NASA is contributing to this commercial enterprise to broaden use of this technology in commerce and industry.”

This nationwide guidance will help grow industry, create jobs and increase implementation of AM parts.

Doug was developing a certification process for powder bed based from the December 2014 NASA Nondestructive Evaluation of Additive
Manufacturing State of the Discipline Report. See Slide 15 https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20150001636.pdf

This was for the remaining Dot Connectors out here. Good Luck!
