ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING1Executive SummaryModern technology has changed the method of manufacturing in many ways; the 3Dprinting technology will completely change the process of manufacturing after its popularity.The 3D printing technology manufacture products by making a computer model of suchobject and adding layers to it, hence it is also known as additive manufacturing. Thetechnology is more suited in case of low volume production because it reduces the cost ofmanufacturing companies. The traditional method of manufacture decreases the cost ofmanufacturing after the production reaches high volume. Firms in the medical sector areusing the technology by making complex components such as hearing aid, prostate arm andmuch more. Other industries such as automotive, aerospace and military use 3D printingtechnology because it assists in the production of complex parts which are difficult tomanufacture otherwise. Various leading researchers conducted by companies such asEconomist, Ganter, and PwC have suggested that this technology will be accessible in nextfive to ten years. The traditional method of manufacturing will be changed by the 3D printingtechnology because it will allow customers to manufacture parts at their homes. It is alsobeneficial in producing a low volume of complex parts which are difficult to be built by anyother method.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING3IntroductionThe process of creating three-dimensional objects is known as 3D printing or additivemanufacturing. In this process, computer control system uses a layer of material to form anobject; the material can be plastic, concrete, metal or other. The additive manufacturing is anew growing sector; many corporations are making more than prototypes through thismechanism, as before. The 3D printing has revolutionised various industries through designand industrialisation, such as energy, health, machinery, aerospace and consumer products.This report will focus on analysing the role of 3D printing in the manufacturing of productsand various other situations. Further, the report will evaluate the future of additive productionand its impact on traditional manufacturing.
