Scope

GB/Z 158-2025 is the English-translated version of 增材制造 设计 功能梯度增材制造.

GB/Z 158-2025 is a report-type guiding document on functionally graded additive manufacturing (FGAM), the layer-by-layer approach that obtains a wanted function by controlling how material composition is distributed inside a part. It explains the FGAM concept for homogeneous single-material parts and for heterogeneous multi-material parts, then reviews how the idea is realised through material extrusion, powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, sheet lamination and vat photopolymerisation. Further clauses set out today's limits, covering materials, additive manufacturing equipment and CAD software, and point to possible uses in biomedical, aerospace and consumer goods work. The document applies to the design of functionally graded additive manufacturing, carries no normative references and defines no terms of its own, and is a modified adoption of ISO/ASTM TR 52912:2020. It was issued on 3 December 2025.

Introduction

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a technology that uses three-dimensional model data as a basis to manufacture parts or physical objects by depositing materials. With... Advances in AM hardware and software technology, along with the demands for greater flexibility and efficiency from new market expansion, have led to a higher functional tier.

The research on the design and manufacturing technology of novel materials is gradually gaining attention. This technology is known as Functionally Graded Additive Manufacturing (FGAM), which is a... Layer-by-layer manufacturing technology that achieves the desired function and performance by controlling the distribution of material components within the component.

The concept of functionally graded materials (FGMs) was proposed in 1984, initially to improve heat resistance in order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional composite materials.

Traditional composite materials [Figure 1a)] are homogeneous mixtures, making it difficult to achieve optimal performance. Compared to traditional materials, FGMs are a class of advanced materials.

By controlling the distribution of components in a spatial dimension, the properties of materials can be optimized [56]. FGMs are a type of material that optimizes the properties of materials by controlling the distribution of two or more components in a spatial dimension.

The material composition changes continuously or discontinuously from one orientation [one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), or three-dimensional (3D)] to another orientation, thus affecting its properties. Heterogeneous materials that can exhibit gradient changes [Fig. 1b).

Traditional manufacturing processes struggle to produce functionally graded materials with continuous gradients and integrated material-structure relationships. Additive manufacturing processes offer advantages such as... The layer-by-layer deposition of materials is an effective manufacturing method for realizing such functionally graded materials, thus giving rise to functionally graded additive manufacturing.

The concept of FGAM. FGAM is an emerging field driven by academic research and has not yet been standardized; therefore, different terms are used in the literature, for example... For example, Functionally Graded Rapid Prototyping (FGRP)[56], Variable Performance Rapid Prototyping (VPRP)[57], and Performance Localization Additive Manufacturing[72], this document only This description of the current state of FGAM technology is based on existing literature, using the terminology related to FGAM from the original literature, without labeling any terms. Standardization is a purely informational and guiding technical document.
