NIST Research about RTM. Engineers can write very long sentences.

"Additionally, the AM Part Qualification project will work closely with standards developing organizations (SDOs), industry/government/academic researchers, and other Measurement Science for Additive Manufacturing (MSAM) projects to mutually benefit from knowledge gained, including: the Real-time Monitoring of AM project as their high degree of control over the process will help isolate process variables for developing process-structure relationships and identification of defect morphology, defect generation, and process-structure relationships will provide signatures to monitor for in situ; the AM Machine and Process Qualification project as identification of relationships between process variables and resultant part quality will help generate tolerances for machine performance monitoring and qualification; the AM Data Integration and Management project as data fusion will be required to merge multiple sources of measurement for richer information about part quality than the individual sources alone; and the Design and Data Analytics project as concepts learned through the AM Part Qualification project will help define challenges for product definition, GD&T, and design rules, and will benefit from investigations of data analytics, AI, and machine learning for AM." glta
