In fact, a 2019 Deloitte study found that early adopters of smart factory practices had seen a 3.3 percent gain in productivity between 2015 and 2018, reducing costs and increasing output for better bottom line figures. According to Forbes, additive manufacturing is among the ten biggest future trends for the industry.
To address these manufacturing challenges, an innovative and flexible fabrication technique known as Additive Manufacturing (AM) has emerged. AM techniques are widely utilized in the fabrication process to create intricate shapes and incorporate functionality that is difficult to achieve using conventional methods.

Additive manufacturing is the process of creating an object by building it one layer at a time. It is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing, in which an object is created by cutting away at a solid block of material until the final product is complete. Technically, additive manufacturing can refer to any process where a product is created

The analysis is conducted using a combination of keywords and Boolean operators, including {additive manufacturing} OR {3D printing} OR {rapid prototyping}, up until 2022. As depicted in Fig. 2, while AM traces its roots to the 1980s, it is clear that its research activity surged significantly during the early 2010s.
Additive manufacturing is developing very rapidly. Every few months we see new technologies, new materials, new software, and new AM products coming to market. It is of great importance to those with an interest in AM to keep abreast of some of the upcoming developments as they will, without doubt, affect how we develop future
