Özet

Additive manufacturing (AM), also commonly known as three-dimensional (3D) printing or rapid prototyping, has advanced significantly over the past decade. Thanks to the design freedom it offers, AM enables the production of parts that are difficult or even impossible to produce using traditional manufacturing methods such as formative manufacturing and subtractive manufacturing. The constraints and limitations encountered in traditional manufacturing are eliminated with this technique. With advantages such as reduced material usage, minimized waste, the ability to produce complex geometries, elimination of storage needs, rapid production, ease of customization, and the potential to consolidate multi-part assemblies into a single or minimal number of parts, AM offers unique opportunities. According to the ASTM-F42 committee guidelines, AM is classified into seven categories. These categories are material jetting, binder jetting, vat photopolymerization (including stereolithography [SLA] and digital light processing [DLP]), powder bed fusion (including selective laser sintering [SLS], selective laser melting [SLM], and electron beam melting [EBM]), material extrusion (including fused deposition modeling [FDM]), direct energy deposition (including laser engineering net shaping [LENS] and electron beam additive manufacturing [EBAM]), and sheet lamination (including laminated object manufacturing [LOM]). Additionally, AM are classified into three categories based on the material used: solid, liquid, and powder. 3D parts made from various printing materials, such as metals, polymers, and ceramics, have a wide range of uses in a broad spectrum of industries, from aerospace and automotive to healthcare and consumer goods. This review aims to provide an overview of various aspects of AM technologies and materials, highlighting the advances made over the past decades.
