3. 3D Printing
Additive manufacturing
(AM)
● Processes used to
synthesize a three-
dimensional object.
● Successive layers of
material are formed
under computer control
to create the object.
● Any shape or geometry
and are produced from
digital model data 3D
model
3

4. ● Invented in the 1980s
● Used for rapid prototyping
(RP).
● Manufacturing technology
that has the potential to
allow the local, on-demand
production of final products
or parts thereof.
● Thermoplastics,
thermoplastic composites,
pure metals, metal alloys,
ceramics and various forms
of food. 4
