Modern additive technologies and 3D printing. Overview of recent advances in various spheres of human life

Abstract

Introduction. The current task of today is to apply new technologies and developments in everyday life in order to improve both the living conditions of mankind and to reduce the cost of energy, materials, time, etc. in the manufacture of various products. One of the promising areas for solving such an urgent task is to introduce the latest advances in additive technologies in various spheres of human life. Methods. On the basis of numerous material published in open information sources, a brief scientific and technical review of recent advances in the field of modern additive technologies is given in various industries and in human life. The significant developments of researchers from around the world in the field of medicine and prosthetics, architecture and construction are presented, the technology of creating metal parts using additive technologies is analyzed. Results. The analysis of examples of the introduction of additive technologies in the world showed an important need to avoid the lag of domestic industry, as well as science and education from the current trends in the use of 3D printers. The advantages and disadvantages of additive technologies compared to traditional production methods are shown. Discussion. The work is aimed at familiarizing domestic specialists and researchers with the possibilities of applying modern additive technologies in various industrial sectors and spheres of human life. The article materials can be sent to attract young scientists, graduate students, students to search for new ways to use additive technologies and translate their wildest ideas and projects into real life.
