What is additive manufacturing?

Additive manufacturing (AM) is an umbrella term for 3D printing. Includes all processes where material is progressively added (as opposed to subtractive manufacturing).

Technologies under AM

  • FDM - filament melting
  • SLA / DLP / MSLA - UV resins
  • SLS - laser sintered powder
  • DMLS - metal powder + laser

Why AM

Key advantage: complex shapes unachievable by machining. Zero mold costs.
