Abstract:In this paper, the rapid evolution of a cluster of complementary technologies that have underpinned additive manufacturing is reviewed. Enabling technologies - 3D Scanning, 3D modeling, and 3D printing technologies - that have been revolutionary in bringing additive manufacturing to mainstream have also been discussed. Conventional engineering processes and its limitations are explored. Targeted applications of additive manufacturing across the depth and breadth of engineering with concrete examples: healthcar… Show more
