Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM), widely known as 3D printing, is a manufacturing method that produces parts from powders layer by layer. Many techniques have been developed to achieve this. In this thesis, the historical development and general principles of additive manufacturing are covered. The techniques for producing metal parts are explored, with a focus on the defects, processing parameters, mechanical properties and the relationships between them and the influences on each other. The various metal AM techniques are compared with the analysis of their strength, limitations and applicable conditions. The applications and mechanical properties of the most studied metal/alloys is another focus. Currently only a few metal parts are commercialized, however, due to the high potential and the advantages in many high end areas, the research activities and the recent efforts could act as a roadmap for the development of ongoing AM new materials and the improvement of present day AM process techniques. | 64 pages
