Manufacturing
• Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D
printing, is a process that creates a physical object
from a digital design
• Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing
rapid prototyping or free-form fabrication, is the
process of joining materials to make objects from
3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as
opposed to subtractive manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing Process
 Laser Power Bed Fusion
» In the laser beam melting process, a powder layer is first
applied on a building platform with a recoater (blade or roller)
and a
» laser beam selectively melts the layer of powder. Then the
platform is lowered by 20 up to 100 μm and a new powder
layer is
» applied. The laser beam melting operation is repeated. After a
few thousand cycles (depending on height of the part), the
built
» part is removed from the powder bed.

 The benefits of AM Technology
» Increased design freedom versus
conventional casting and machining
» No tools needed, unlike other
conventional metallurgy processes
which require molds and metal
forming or removal tools.
» complex parts can be produced
layer by layer in a few hours in
additive machines.
