Introduction to Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) or additive layer manufacturing (ALM) is the industrial production name for 3D printing, a computer-controlled process that creates three-dimensional objects by depositing materials, usually in layers. Using computer-aided design (CAD) or 3D object scanners, additive manufacturing allows the creation of objects with precise geometric shapes. These are built layer by layer, in contrast to traditional manufacturing which often requires machining or other techniques to remove surplus material. Through this free webinar, students can learn the AM Manufacturing processes, Technologies, Materials used, and Advantages in detail.
