Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a technology that uses a digital 3D model to produce objects in layer-by-layer fashion. Since AM is a completely different from conventional manufacturing techniques, AM requires knowledge of AM process with the importance of AM material and design knowledge. Since the manufacturing industry is steadily in decline, due to the economic shift to service-based business models, manufacturing is in a need of digital transition to adapt to the changing economic environment affected by digital transformation. Digital transformation is sometimes called Industry 4.0, one of the supporting technologies of Industry 4.0 is AM. In this thesis we will give an overview of AM technologies and processes, with the steps for implementation and give examples of AM implementation in different industries.
