GENERAL1.1 Scope
This Standard covers the definitions of terms and features unique to additive manufacturing (AM) technologies withrecommendations for their uniform specification in product definition data and in related documents.Unless otherwisespecified, any reference to features, parts,or processes shall be interpreted as applying to parts or assemblies manu-factured using an AM process. Additively manufactured parts or assemblies are referred to as “parts” throughout theStandard. The Standard extends to capturing relevant AM detail from design, manufacturing, and quality engineering.1.2 ASME Y14 Series Conventions
The conventions in paras. 1.2.1 through 1.2.12 are used in this and other ASME Y14 standards.1.2.1 Mandatory,Recommended,Guidance, and Optional Words
(a) The word “shall” establishes a requirement.
(b) The word “will”establishes a declaration of purpose on the part of the design activity.(c) The word “should” establishes a recommended practice.
(d) The word “may” establishes an allowed practice.
(e) The words “typical””example””for reference” and the Latin abbreviation “e.g” indicate suggestions given forguidance only.
(f) The word “or”used in conjunction with a requirement or a recommended practice indicates that there are two ormore options for complying with the stated requirement or practice.
g) The phrase “unless otherwise specified” or the abbreviation “UOs” shall be used to indicate a default requirement.The phrase is used when the default is a generally applied requirement and an exception may be provided by anotherdocument or requirement.
1.2.2 Cross-Reference of Standards. Cross-reference of standards in text with or without a date following the stan-dard designator shall be interpreted as follows:
(a) Reference to other ASMEY14 standards in the text without a date following the standard designator indicates thatthe edition of the standard identified in the References section (para. 1.5) shall be used to meet the requirement.(b) Reference to otherASMEY14standards in the text with a date followingthe standarddesignator indicatesthat onlythat edition of the standard shall be used to meet the requirement.
1.2.3 Invocation of Referenced Standards.The following examples define the invocation of astandard when specifiedin para.1.5 and referenced in the text of this Standard:
(a] when a referenced standard is cited in the text with no limitations to a specific subject or paragraphs of thestandard, the entire standard is invoked.For example, “Dimensioning and tolerancing shall be in accordance withASME Y14.5″ is invoking the complete standard because the subject of the standard is dimensioning and tolerancingand no specific subject or paragraphs within the standard are invoked.
(b) When a referenced standard is cited in the text with limitations to a specific subject or paragraphs of the standard,only the paragraphs on that subject are invoked.For example,”Assign part or identifying numbers in accordance withASME Y14.100″ is invoking only the paragraphs on part or identifying numbers because the subject of the standard isengineering drawing practices and part or identifying numbers is a specific subject within the standard.
(c) when a referenced standard is cited in the text without an invoking statement such as ” in accordance with” thestandard is invoked for guidance only.For example “For gaging principles,see ASMEY14.43” is only for guidance and noportion of the standard is invoked.
1.2.4 Definitions. Section 2 provides definitions specific to this Standard.For definitions of words used in but notdefined in this Standard, see Merriam-Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary at https:/ /www.merriam-webster.com/.
1.2.5 Parentheses Following aDefinition. When a definition is followed bya standard referenced in parentheses, the standard referenced in parentheses is the source for the definition. 1.2.6 Notes.NotesdepictedinthisStandardinALLUPPERCASElettersareintendedtoreflectactualproductdefinition entries. Notes depicted in initial uppercase or lowercase letters are to be considered supporting data to the contents of this Standard and are notintended forliteral entryon the productdefinition. Astatementrequiringthe addition ofa note with the qualifier “such as” is a requirement to add a note, and the content of the note is allowed to vary to suit the application.
