Overview
Additive Manufacturing (AM) - largely also referred to as 3D printing - is an emerging and innovative manufacturing process, which differs fundamentally from conventional manufacturing processes and opens up completely new possibilities for research and industry.
What is additive manufacturing?
As a collective term, additive manufacturing processes include all those manufacturing processes with which three-dimensional models, samples, prototypes, tools or finished products are generated by the automated application of materials layer by layer.
