Available additive manufacturing materials for production
What is additive manufacturing? Additive Manufacturing (AM),known as 3D printing, combines computer-aided design, material processing and molding technology, based on digital model files, and uses specialized metal materials, non-metallic materials, and medical biomaterials through software and numerical control systems.According to extrusion, sintering, melting, photo-curing, spraying, etc.,layer by layer, to create a manufacturing technology for physical objects. Compared with the traditional processing mode of raw material removal-cutting and assembly, it is a kind of "bottom-up" manufacturing method by material accumulation, from scratch. This has made it possible to manufacture complex structural parts that were previously constrained by traditional manufacturing methods and that could not be realized. Additive manufacturing of metal materials Early additive manufacturing techniques were primarily prototyped for rapid response to product d
