Abstract - - Additive Manufacturing is the process in which
the material is added layer by layer to make the final prototype/product. Additive manufacturing (AM) is the latest technology that could improve the manufacturing process by building up thin layers of materials from digitized threedimensional (3D) designs virtually constructed using advanced CAD software. This technique offers the creation of new types of objects with unique material properties. A massive media and public interest in the technology has led to the latest state of the art of exploring the technology for applications beyond the scope of the traditional engineering industry.

1.INTRODUCTION ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING In additive manufacturing, an object is made by building it layer by layer, which is different from subtractive manufacturing, which involves cutting away a solid block of material to create a finished product. Although technically, this process can be used to create various types of products, such as molds, it is mainly referred to as 3-D printing. During the 1980s, additive manufacturing was used to develop prototype products, which were usually not functional. This process was referred to as rapid prototyping, as it allowed individuals to create a scale version of their finished product in just a couple of hours. The rise of additive manufacturing led to the development of rapid tooling, which enables the creation of molds for final products. By the 2000s, it had become widely used to create functional goods. Some of the companies that have started using this technology include General Electric and Boeing.
