Dec 7, 2017 · What is additive manufacturing? Additive manufacturing is the process of creating an object by building it one layer at a time. It is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing, in which an object is created by cutting away at a solid block of material until the final product is complete.

Mar 1, 2021 · Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D Printing, is believed to be a disruptive technology, and therefore the assessment of its ensuing sustainability impacts is necessary. The insufficient evidence in extant literature addressing the social impacts of AM suggests that the social sustainability aspect of this technology has received ...

Aug 21, 2024 · Additive manufacturing describes the manufacturing process that uses technologies to create 3D objects by adding material through an automated process. It’s achieved by adding layers atop layers by depositing material, hardening material, melting a powder, or binding a powder.

Oct 16, 2017 · In simplest terms, additive manufacturing is 3D printing. This emerging manufacturing practice allows researchers to create physical, three-dimensional objects directly from a computer design file.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) can be defined through its dramatic difference from conventional manufacturing techniques such as machining, casting, and forging; where by products are formed layer by layer as matter is repetitively built up rather than removed.
technologies such as 3-D printing that use computers and lasers (= narrow, powerful beams of light) to create three-dimensional (= solid) objects by adding layers of material one on top of another: High-strength metal alloys can be produced by laser additive manufacturing.
