What is Additive Manufacturing? As the name suggests, Additive Manufacturing (also known as 3D printing) is a group of manufacturing techniques , which manufacture parts by adding successive layers of material with the help of computer control systems. Various materials that can be used in additive manufacturing (AM) are plastic, metal, concrete, also human tissue. In the additive manufacturing process, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is created and utilized to manufacture 3-Dimension (3D) objects. Various CAD-CAM software is required to Design, Analyze, and Manufacture parts. Once CAD data is produced, Slicing software slices the design in different layers (as required by different AM processes), and then data utilized to manufacture required material parts. Different terms like “3D printing” and “rapid prototyping” are also casually used to describe Additive manufacturing, but each one is a subset of additive manufacturing. Hence in the simple sense, Additive manufacturing te...
