A Short Glance on Metal 3D AM

Article Preview

Abstract:

Metal 3D AM (Additive Manufacturing) has been becoming a more common production method for larger variety of parts. In this review the current situation and future development trends of the 3D metal AM are presented, concentrating on the SLM (Selective Laser Melting) technology. A holistic approach to the AM as a digital manufacturing method is presented and different manufacturing aspects of the AM production are identified. The most promising aspects for the future development are the automatization of the AM design tasks and automatization of the production. With the development of these aspects the production and cost efficiency of the metal AM can be increased to a more competitive level compared with other manufacturing methods.
