Abstract

3D processes are one of the most innovative and perspective technologies for the production of machine parts. Currently, this technology is developing very quickly and is becoming more and more competitive for traditional methods of making prototypes and models, as well as for the production of functional products - semi-finished products or finished machine parts. It is used in many areas of life - from medicine and biomechanics, through such industries as: automotive, aviation, film production, to art, jewellery, furniture production and fashion. The paper presents the characteristics of 3D techniques focused on the production of machine parts from metal materials. Selected Laser Sintering (SLS), DMLS - Direct Metal Laser Sintering, SLM - Selective Laser Melting, Laser Cusing, Laser Engineering Net Shaping (LENS), Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM) have been characterized. Metal materials used in the manufacture of products using additive techniques have been presented. The advantages and disadvantages of the presented technologies were highlighted and attention was paid to economic aspects.
