Abstract

Additive manufacturing is a topic of high growth in recent years in both academic and industrial terms. Based on important advantages such as the possibility to manufacture complex geometries, the technology is being continuously developed and improved. So, additive manufacturing is rapidly overcoming some of its initial limitations and, thus, increasing its applications in a wide range of industrial sectors. In addition, additive manufacturing is of public interest due to the opportunities and applications that it offers, or it may provide. The article presents the basics of the technology, highlighting its main advantages and limitations. Moreover, it aims to collect the latest trends (e.g., 4D printing, bioprinting, hybrid processes and micromanufacturing), applications and developments that this technology currently has.
