The Singapore Manufacturing Federation – Standards Development Organisation (SMF-SDO) successfully launched SS 708:2024 at inter airport Southeast Asia 2025, marking an important milestone in the advancement of additive manufacturing for aerospace applications.
Supporting Aerospace Innovation with Standards
SS 708:2024, developed by SMF-SDO in collaboration with Enterprise Singapore and key industry stakeholders, provides a comprehensive framework for Filament Layer Manufacturing (FLM) – a form of additive manufacturing used to produce aerospace-grade components.
The new standard sets out clear guidelines to enhance quality, consistency, and efficiency, helping local and regional manufacturers meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace industry.
Key Benefits of SS 708:2024
By establishing a unified framework for FLM, SS 708:2024 plays a vital role in:
- 🛩️ Strengthening Singapore’s position as the leading Aerospace MRO hub in APAC.
- 🛩️ Enabling local manufacturers to meet global aerospace standards.
- 🛩️ Accelerating adoption of additive manufacturing technologies in aviation.
Collaboration with Industry Partners
The development of SS 708:2024 was made possible through close collaboration between government agencies, industry associations, and leading enterprises. SMF-SDO extends its appreciation to:
- Enterprise Singapore
- Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS)
- National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC Singapore)
- Association of Aerospace Industries (Singapore)
- ST Engineering
- Singapore Standards Council
Their contributions have been instrumental in shaping a standard that aligns with international benchmarks while addressing local industry needs.
Strengthening Singapore’s Standards Infrastructure
The launch of SS 708:2024 is part of Singapore’s broader effort to deepen its standards infrastructure for advanced manufacturing technologies.
