文摘INTRODUCTION Additive Manufacturing(AM)is often hailed as the manufacturing technology of the future.This claim is fueled by the short design to product cycles,the potential to produce parts with near zero material waste and a seemingly unlimited design freedom.For metal working,the design freedom opened new possibilities no one could imagine a mere three decades ago.Indeed,light weighting and stress optimization can be driven to an extreme,and complex parts with internal channels and/or scaffolds have become common place.For sectors such as biomedical engineering and aerospace,this allows solving problems which could never be tackled with traditional manufacturing and has led to widespread adoption of AM technology.
