Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a process of creating three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer. This technology allows for the production of complex and customized objects with high precision and detail. Additive manufacturing has applications in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and jewelry. It offers benefits such as reduced waste, faster production times, and the ability to create unique and intricate designs that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. Research in additive manufacturing focuses on improving material properties, optimizing production processes, and expanding the range of materials that can be used in 3D printing.
