Advanced manufacturing
process
Advanced manufacturing is defined as “the use
of innovative technologies to create existing
products and the creation of new products,
including production activities that depend on
information, automation, computation, software,
sensing, and networking”.

Additive manufacturing (AM)
vs
Conventional manufacturing
Emphasis on keeping geometry simple
Split of parts for ease of manufaturing and
Design for conventional
assembly
manufacturing
Design with manufacturing
constriants/boundries
Emphasis on more complex geometry
Consolidation of more parts /functions
Design for addtive
manufacturing Design for goal/function rather than
constraints

Reduced cost & lead times hrough reduction /
Benefits
elimination of tooling & assembly
of AM
Reduced weight through bionic shapes offered
by topology optimization and lattice structures
Consolidation of components & related
processes there by simplifying the supply chain
No penalty for complex geometries or low
production quantities

Additive manufacturing
applications
Aerospace
Minimizing weight is a primary
way in which 3D printing has
enabled the aerospace industry
to make a considerable saving
Electronics
3D printing process is being used
to produce basic electronic
components, circuitry, and
printed circuit boards.
Healthcare
Dentistry
Prostetics
Medical models
Implants
Organs
Defence
From frontline replacement parts
to quick-build bunkers, the
military relies on 3D printing to
get the job done faster, better,
and anywhere
Automotive
Automotive designers can
quickly fabricate a prototype of a
physical part or assembly, from a
simple interior element to a
dashboard or even a scale model
of an entire car
Food
processing
3D food printing is the process of
manufacturing food products
using a variety of additive
manufacturing techniques. Most
commonly, food grade syringes
hold the printing material, which
is then deposited through a food
grade nozzle layer by layer
Construction
Construction 3D printing is a
method for manufacturing
construction elements or entire
buildings by means of a 3D
printer printing concrete,
polymer, metal, or other
materials, layer-by-layer. The
most common type of printer is
based on a robotic arm that
moves back and forth while
extruding concrete
