Abstract

One of the most cutting-edge technologies used in the manufacturing industry is additive manufacturing, often known as 3D printing. The additive manufacturing technology uses a layer-by-layer material build-up process to manufacture parts that are created directly from digital models. Metal and polymer components can be swiftly and precisely produced with this manufacturing process. Additionally, it enables flexible manufacturing of customized products without substantially affecting the cost. Due to its attractive features including component design freedom, part complexity, light weight, part consolidation, and design for function, additive manufacturing is particularly suited to the aerospace, automotive, and marine industries. This chapter provides an overview of additive manufacturing methods used in the automotive industry, including material considerations, component design, design limitations, and applications.
