ABSTRACT
Additive manufacturing is referred to as the process of fabrication in which complex, complicated, and customized geometrical structures are fabricated by using the layered deposition methodology. This chapter provides a review of available additive manufacturing techniques, in terms of fundamentals, technologies, recent developments, and their application in several areas. The fundamental process parameters of layer thickness, printing speed, extrusion width, infill angle and pattern, and part orientation influences the mechanical behavior of the component. Laminated object manufacturing is the technique of additive manufacturing in which lamination of the input material fabricate the parts after a successful cutting of the extra material. Schematic diagram represented by using rectangles, circles, and lines to describe the operation of sintering process while layer manufacturing. In selective laser melting, part is fabricated in a layer-by-layer fashion from the fusion of the powder particles under the effect of heat produced via laser light.
