Abstract. The Additive Manufacturing (AM) process is a computer-controlled process that uses CAD representations to build physical parts layer by layer. Almost all computer-aided design (CAD) packages allow the creation of stereolithography (STL) files, which are translated into machine commands to drive the AM process.
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a process where products are created by building layers of material on top of another until a complete 3D object is formed. The process can take digital design data and transform this information into a
Powder bed fusion process is one of the basic technique associated with additive manufacturing. It follows the basic principle of manufacturing the product layer by layer and their fusion. A heat source focuses its heat over a powder base material and heats the selected cross section area. Sources like laser beam, electron beam and
Additive manufacturing is an umbrella term for the production methods in which three-dimensional objects are built from digital files in a computer-controlled process that "adds" material one layer at a time.
