Abstract:

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies play a very significant role in making metallic/nonmetallic prototypes or products in layered fashion. The main goal of these technologies is to produce fully dense and net shaped metal/non-metal parts in single step. Some additive manufacturing technologies such as Selective Laser Sintering and Laser Engineered Net Shaping are dominating processes while Laminated Object Manufacturing has also been used. This paper tries to present a comparative picture of the different additive manufacturing technologies.
