Syllabus: Additive Manufacturing ( AM) is a process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usual y layer up on layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies, such as traditional machining. The basic principle of AM is that a model, initially generated using a three-dimensional Computer Aided Design (3D CAD) system, can be fabricated directly. AM technologies have significantly evolved over the last decade. Because of their potential to extensively transform the nature of manufacturing processes, e.g ., by enabling "Freedom of Design" several industries have been attracted by these technologies. Using AM, manufacturing of highly complex parts can be an economically viable alternative to convention al manufacturing technologies.
