Biography

Dr. habil. Anne-Françoise Obaton has been involved in metrology at the French National Metrology Institute (NMI): Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d'Essais (LNE) in Paris since 2000. Her research focused on optical metrology until December 2013, and then on metrology for additive manufacturing (AM) since January 2014. She is conducting research on the investigation and qualification of volumetric non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for quality assurance of AM parts. She is currently focusing on X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS). Related to this topic, she has been staying abroad, as guest researcher, in several organisations (BAM and PTB in Germany, DTU in Denmark, and NIST and LLNL in US). She is currently involved in—and has been involved in—several projects. She coordinated the European project JPR 15HLT09 MetAMMI (2015-2019): “Metrology for AM medical implants”. Since 2014, she is involved in the international standardization ISO/TC261-ASTM/F42 group on AM, joint group JG59 on “NDT for AM parts”, where she leads the ongoing project: ISO/ASTM DIS 52971 AM-NDT&E-Guideline for dimensional measurements based on cone beam XCT". In addition, since 2022, she is involved in ASTM E07.01 Radiology (X and Gamma) Method, specifically on XCT, and E07.06 Ultrasonic Method, specifically on RUS. In parallel, she is strongly involved in the XCT and AM working groups of the French Confederation for Non-destructive Testing (COFREND).
