Abstract
The latest process involved in the design, development and delivery of products to the end users has been implemented utilizing additive manufacturing (AM) or three-dimensional (3D) printing. This technology provides a great deal of freedom in the production of complicated parts, highly personalized goods and effective waste reduction. The new technological and Industrial revolution, utilizes the incorporation of intelligent fabrication and CAD processes. Via its various advantages, such as time and material savings, rapid prototyping, has enhanced productivity as well as distributed manufacturing processes, where AM actively participates and plays significant role in the industrial advancements. This paper is intended to conduct an analytical review of the latest developments and technological aspects in the AM innovation. This paper also explores the viability of the additive manufacturing mechanism as well as the advantages of the product in global, social and ecological fields. At last, the paper finishes with an outline of AM's potential in technologies, implementations and products developments, which will generate new concepts for AM discovery in the coming years..
Highlights
Product manufacture can be characterized as added-value processes by means of which limited usage and desirable raw materials are manufactured in high utility and desired goods in certain specifications, shapes, and finishes with certain functional capacities because of their unacceptable material properties and their limited or irregular shape, structure and build [1]

In only a few hours, additive manufacture (AM) enables an enterprises to adapt their concepts on the fly in comparison to the conventional techniques of producing metal or wood prototypes in manufacturing plants
Summary
Product manufacture can be characterized as added-value processes by means of which limited usage and desirable raw materials are manufactured in high utility and desired goods in certain specifications, shapes, and finishes with certain functional capacities because of their unacceptable material properties and their limited or irregular shape, structure and build [1]. All mechanisms of this type can be commonly grouped into four main classes, i.e. Industrial production and additive manufacture (AM) processes are being formed, joined, subtracted,. The ideal form and scale are obtained from the working material in the subtractive production process by removing items or reduction of the undesirable materials with the required method[2]. The development of specialized and incredibly sophisticated components by added additives is feasible, the slower printing rate of AM processes restricts it to be used for large scale productions. The name rapid prototyping (RP), in AM and computer aided CAD productions, signifies to the three-dimensional printing, rapid manufacturing, Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) and layered production [7] that are considered to cover all additive manufacturing production methods. RP methods may be used to create instruments in addition to prototypes ( called "rapid tooling") and for quality components manufacturing (known as "rapid manufacturing") [9],[10]
