3D printing, now accessible to the general public, allows greater freedom of design, savings in materials, localized production and personalization of objects. The beginning of 3D printers dates back to the 1980s, when the first rapid prototype process appeared. Since then there have been several thousand patents, development, research and improvement in this field.
Today, the factory of the future will have to integrate additive manufacturing methods with subtractive manufacturing methods. Indeed, in most cases we start with a rough, from which material is removed to obtain the desired part, while additive manufacturing reconstructs the object layer by layer. The two manufacturing processes are complementary but the way of designing the parts is not the same. The fields of application are very varied: Aeronautics, aerospace, automotive, medical, civil engineering…
This resource presents additive manufacturing as well as the seven processes classified according to the initial state of the material and the implementation process, while presenting the design process and comparing the processes.
