Abstract

As an emerging technology in the 1980s, additive manufacturing (AM) has been penetrating the world of manufacturing ever since. From the beginning with the development of the stereolithography technique AM offered a less-expensive and less-time consuming approach to prototyping using only photopolymers such as acrylates and epoxies. Some years later with the development of many new layer-based processes, the focus shifted from just prototyping to the direct manufacture of products. Currently, AM can process all classes of engineering materials from plastics and metals to ceramics as well as nontraditional materials.
