Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing is a manufacturing technique where successive layers of material are layered to produce parts. The design freedom afforded by AM is ideal for the space industry, where part production is low volume and highly customized. The objective of this paper is to review research in the area of
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 is the process of building physical parts and products from digital data," says Professor Hart. "Increasingly, it describes an ecosystem of technologies and knowledge that allow one to digitally produce physical goods." In this context, 3D printing is the process used to form the object, and a 3D printer is a
Additive manufacturing has faced resistance and hurdles in various industries and sectors despite its large variety of applications. Variability is caused by several variables. Additive manufacturing has been resisted in aircraft and healthcare, where quality control and certification are crucial. It''s difficult to ensure 3D-printed
IDTechEx and SmarTech Analysis provide insight into the 2021 trends that occurred within the additive manufacturing industry and how 2022 is shaping up.
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

The heist at the center of the 2018 ensemble comedy movie Ocean''s 8 required the protagonists to switch valuable jewels for 3-D-printed copies. "Replicators," which generate food or tools from basic raw
Its site in Minneapolis, Minnesota, currently houses 54 additive machines and while its Valencia, California, facility holds 62, the company told 3D Printing Industry. These systems are running
At its simplest, additive manufacturing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing. That is, rather than subtract material such as is often seen in traditional means of production — think CNC milling, cutting, carving — additive manufacturing adds material to build a shape. 3D printing is a part of the additive manufacturing workflow
Additive manufacturing technology in the aerospace industry also faces its fair share of challenges, and it demands a forward-looking perspective. One of the paramount concerns is the certification and qualification of 3D-printed components.
Additive Manufacturing is the peer-reviewed journal that provides academia and world-leading industry with high quality research papers and reviews in
Additive manufacturing is a technology native to Industry 4.0, digitizing part design and production and automating fabrication. But the application of other technologies in the Industry 4.0 suite into AM technologies is changing how humans can use their 3D printers, as well as the future of automation in the industry.
The global food additives market size was estimated at USD 114.35 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% from 2024 to 2030. This is attributed to the expanding size of key end-use sectors, including bakery & confectionery, beverages, dairy, and convenience foods, coupled with the growing
