17. Additive Manufacturing: What is it?

18. Additive manufacturing or 3D printing is a process of making a three-dimensional solid
object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D printing is achieved using
an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes.
3D printing is also considered distinct from traditional machining techniques, which
mostly rely on the removal of material by methods such as cutting or drilling
(subtractive processes).
- Wikipedia Definition For Additive Manufacuring
With all the attention 3D printing has attracted, it’s important to point out where the
technology works and where it is going. Prototyping has been the technology’s biggest
application, thus the name rapid prototyping, and it remains a key category. The fastestgrowing application, however, is in the actual manufacturing of parts for final products. In
just 10 years, this important application has grown from almost nothing to more than 28%
of the total global product and service revenues, according to our research for Wohlers
Report 2013. The manufacturing of final parts, rather than prototyping, is where the
manufacturing money is, and it is the most significant part of AM’s future.

Additive Manufacturing & 3DP [What is it?]

19. “Product created specifically to take advantage of
Additive Manufacturing’s benefits for final product”
Common Drivers For AM:
• Organically Designed Geometries
• Personalization/Customization
• Small Batch/Limited Quantities
• High Value/High Complexity Products
• Design/Weight/Strength Optimization
