Abstract

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a transformative technology with the potential to revolutionize production processes across various industries. This chapter provides a comprehensive exploration of the latest advancements in metal AM technologies, their applications, and the challenges and opportunities they present. It begins with a historical overview, tracing the evolution of metal AM from early experiments to sophisticated modern processes. Key technological milestones are highlighted, showcasing the rapid growth and widespread adoption of metal AM. The chapter then delves into various techniques, including powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, binder jetting, and material extrusion, and analyzing their operating principles, advantages, and limitations. Additionally, it discusses the materials used in metal AM, such as ferrous metals, nonferrous metals, highperformance alloys, and metal matrix composites, exploring their properties, characteristics, and suitability for different AM processes and applications.
