Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) is going to cover all the segments of industries from missile industry to biomedical industry. This marked change of technology is due to the distinctive potential of AM to fabricate the parts with intricate designs and reduce fabrication expenditure (free from machining, waste generation, assembly of various parts) with small production runs and short turnaround times. This chapter extensively discussed industrially practiced AM technology. In this chapter, all additive manufacturing materials like metal, alloys, polymer, ceramics, composite, etc. have been given focus for various applications. Additive manufacturing technology is cost effective: no loss of metal and easy to fabricate both larger and intricate shapes. This technology already has taken a primary position in aerospace industries as well as the medical and household industries.
