Additive Manufacturing Experimental statistics in AM
these practices within AM can be tracked over time by of sample size, model adequacy, model selection,
a journal or a scientific body by measuring an index of randomization, and blocking. The repository also includes
statistical sophistication. Ensuring statistical precision the R script, which will reproduce the figures and analyses
is highly critical for AM since it is used to produce parts in this manuscript.
for highly regulated industry segments such as aerospace,
medicine, and similar fields. References
