Additive manufacturing, popularly known as 3D printing, is the process of manufacturing a three-dimensional solid object from a digital CAD file by successively laying down thin layers of material one above the other. This is called additive as it adds material during the process, contrary to the popular subtractive manufacturing technologies
Additive manufacturing (AM) —the process of making a product layer by layer instead of using traditional molding or subtractive methods—has become one of the most revolutionary technology applications in manufacturing. Often referred to as 3-D printing, the best-known forms of AM today depend on the material: SLS (selective laser
4 · Additive Manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, in which a 3D object is fabricated by adding layer-upon-layer of material and fusing them. BJ. Binder Jetting is a 3D printing technique in which a binding liquid is selectively deposited to join powder material to form a 3D part – learn more here. Bridge.
Additive manufacturing (AM) technology like 3-D printing allows the fabricationof nearly any shape or structure from digital 3D model data [1].The method involves printing alternating layers of various materials. Charles Hull developed stereolithography (SLA) in 1986
