Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has transformed conventional manufacturing paradigms by enabling layer-by-layer fabrication of intricate structures. This technical abstract delineates the pivotal role of materials in the realm of AM, delving into recent advancements, persistent challenges, and multifaceted applications. Advancements in AM materials encompass a broad spectrum, including polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites. Tailoring material formulations for specific AM processes such as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and Stereo lithography (SLA) has led to improved mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. These advancements facilitate the production of functional prototypes, end-use parts, and biocompatible implants, expanding AM's applicability. Despite progress, challenges persist. Attaining optimal material properties while ensuring printing precision and reproducibility remains a focal point. Quality control, standardization, and post-processing techniques pose ongoing challenges necessitating continued refinement to enhance reliability and performance.The applications of advanced AM materials span industries, revolutionizing aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and architectural sectors. Customized implants, lightweight aerospace components, intricate architectural designs, and rapid tooling exemplify the diverse applications leveraging AM materials' unique capabilities.
