“…Aerospace: AM techniques are ideal for producing aerospace components as they need small batches of components, which have complex geometries, which is necessary for airflow and heat dissipation functions [107]. Furthermore, on-demand and on-site manufacturing are needed to be established for astronauts to produce parts for repair or maintenance of space stations.…”

Additive manufacturing (AM) or three-dimensional (3D) printing has introduced a novel production method in design, manufacturing, and distribution to end-users. This technology has provided great freedom in design for creating complex components, highly customizable products, and efficient waste minimization. The last industrial revolution, namely industry 4.0, employs the integration of smart manufacturing systems and developed information technologies. Accordingly, AM plays a principal role in industry 4.0 thanks to numerous benefits, such as time and material saving, rapid prototyping, high efficiency, and decentralized production methods. This review paper is to organize a comprehensive study on AM technology and present the latest achievements and industrial applications. Besides that, this paper investigates the sustainability dimensions of the AM process and the added values in economic, social, and environment sections. Finally, the paper concludes by pointing out the future trend of AM in technology, applications, and materials aspects that have the potential to come up with new ideas for the future of AM explorations.

“…In addition, DED has the added ability of depositing coatings upon a substrate, often with protective or fatigue-life enhancing properties [55]. Furthermore, the DED process configuration permits the production of components with heterogenous material composition, as shown in Figure 6 [56]. By switching the input-material feedstock, layers of material with different compositions can be deposited on the build area.…”

“…In most evaluations, the cost of material for AM is higher than its CM equivalent, but optimized AM processes can offer lower buy-to-fly ratios and recycling capabilities, significantly reducing the overall manufacturing costs [56,69,70].…”

“…Significant efforts have been made in recent years to insert AM componentry into both structural and propulsion systems of aircraft. Airbus used AM to produce A350 brackets from Ti6Al4V in 2014, the first metal AM components used for the interior of a commercial aircraft ( Figure 7) [56]. The topology-optimized component is 30% lighter than a CM-milled bracket, yielding a significant waste reduction of from 95% to 5% [89].…”

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has matured from its infancy in the research stage to the fabrication of a wide range of commercial functional applications. In particular, at present, metal AM is now popular in the aerospace industry to build and repair various components for commercial and military aircraft, as well as outer space vehicles. Firstly, this review describes the categories of AM technologies that are commonly used to fabricate metallic parts. Then, the evolution of metal AM used in the aerospace industry from just prototyping to the manufacturing of propulsion systems and structural components is also highlighted. In addition, current outstanding issues that prevent metal AM from entering mass production in the aerospace industry are discussed, including the development of standards and qualifications, sustainability, and supply chain development.

“…3D printing brought technologies to the new level due to their versatility; they are also widely used in construction [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Compared to traditional ones, 3D technologies enable complete automation of the process, reduce the amount of waste, improve sustainability of construction and architectural expressiveness of structures, as well as provide solidity of structures due to continuous layer-by-layer application.…”

Abstract. The paper is aimed at developing scientifically proven compositions of mortars for 3D printing modified by a peat-based admixture with improved operational characteristics. The paper outlines the results of experimental research on hardened cement paste and concrete mixture with the use of modifying admixture MT-600 (thermally modified peat). It is found that strength of hardened cement paste increases at early age when using finely dispersed admixtures, which is the key factor for formation of construction and technical specifications of concrete for 3D printing technologies. The composition of new formations of hardened cement paste modified by MT-600 admixture were obtained, which enabled to suggest the possibility of their physico-chemical interaction while hardening.
