Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a process that builds three-dimensional objects layer by layer from a digital design. Unlike traditional manufacturing, it adds material rather than removing it.
AM processes utilize a diverse range of materials, including various polymers (plastics), metals (e.g., titanium, aluminum, steel), ceramics, composites, and even biological materials for specialized applications.
Primary benefits include unparalleled design freedom for complex geometries, rapid prototyping, on-demand production, reduced material waste, and the ability to customize parts efficiently and cost-effectively.
Key industries benefiting from AM include aerospace (lightweight components), healthcare (prosthetics, implants, surgical guides), automotive (prototyping, custom tools), and consumer goods (customized products and tooling).
