Additive Manufacturing
A process of joining materials to make objects from 3D
model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to
subtractive manufacturing fabrication methodologies
[ISO 17296-1 and ASTM 2792-12]
Design Freedom Product Innovation
Bio-inspired Generative Design
• Early AM processes established in
the mid 1980’s as a solution for
faster product prototype
development
• Plastic processing techniques
were initially commercialized for
the development of “short life
products”
• Metal AM processes were
developed and introduced into the
market in the 1990’s](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/caase18-2-3-chakrabortyviasformat-180802163412/85/Additive-Manufacturing-Process-Simulation-and-Generative-Design-Production-of-Functional-Parts-6-320.jpg)
