Abstract

This chapter traces the evolution of additive manufacturing (AM) from a rapid prototyping technique to a disruptive technology that impacts various industries. It reviews the latest research and expert opinions on the effects of AM on industrial, societal, and environmental aspects. It also explores 4D printing (4DP), a novel branch of AM that creates dynamic and adaptive objects, and discusses its challenges and opportunities. It also considers the conjunction of AM with other emerging technologies such as AI, IoT, and blockchain, and how they shape the future of smart products and services. This chapter offers valuable insights into the development of AM, its transformative potential, and its crucial role in shaping the industries of tomorrow.
