Additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging rapid manufacturing technique that builds parts by tracing their cross section, layer upon layer. This technology has many unique capabilities that are not found in conventional manufacturing techniques. One of these is its ability to produce very complex part geometries without the need for any tooling. This unique potential makes it the future manufacturing technique for very complex and intricate geometries such as gas turbine components. The current review investigates the available metal additive manufacturing techniques and materials, in respect of their applicability for gas turbine engine components. From the investigation, it is clear that AM is in a promising progress for the manufacture of aircraft gas turbine components. The current limitations of AM techniques for the production of gas turbine engine components are also covered. The future perspective of this technology in this regard has also been discussed.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a novel technique that despite having been around for more than 35 years, has been underutilized. Its great advantage lies in the basic fact that it is incredibly customizable. Since its use was recognized in various fields of medicine like orthopaedics, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology etc, it has proved to be one of the most promising developments in most of them. Customizable orthotics, prosthetics and patient specific implants and tracheal splints are few of its advantages. And in the future too, the combination of tissue engineering with AM is believed to produce an immense change in biological tissue replacement.

Widely used additive manufacturing technique for plastic materials is Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). The FDM technology has gained interest in industry for a wide range of applications, especially today when large number of different materials on the market are available. There are many different manufacturers for the same FDM material where the difference in price goes up to 50%. This experimental study investigates possible difference in strength of the 3D printed PLA material of five different manufacturers. All specimens are 3D printed on Ultimaker S5 printer with the same printing parameters, and they are all the same colour.

The future of construction will be directly connected with additive manufacturing (AM). It is easy to see the lack of consistency between jobs, labour inefficiency, schedule delays, delays on material delivery, exceeding budget projections and high percentage of material waste. Over the years, additive manufacturing has been a constant topic of discussion, in order to understand the limitations, applications and the overall impact on the cost of construction. In this work it is intended to present/discuss opportunities and challenges and the potential of AM to revolutionize the industry.

This paper presents a novel manufacturing technique for complex-shaped, hybrid metal composite structures leveraging the design freedom of additive manufacturing (AM). The key novelty of this research is an approach for an autoclave-suitable and removable tooling, which consists of a 3D-printed functional shell and a structural filler material. In this process, a layup shell is produced with AM and filled with a temperature-resistant curing support to form a removable inner tooling. The functional shell has integrated design features for the positioning and the fixation of metallic interface elements and is removed after curing through integrated breaking lines. The feasibility of this manufacturing technique is demonstrated by fabricating a novel lightweight structure for the hydraulic quadruped (HyQ) robot. Selective laser sintering (SLS) was used to produce the functional shell tooling. Titanium interface elements made via selective laser melting (SLM) were assembled to the shell and co-cured to carbon fiber using an autoclave prepreg process. The resulting multi-material structure was tested in ultimate strength and successfully operated on the HyQ robot. Weight savings of 55% compared to a reference design and the mechanical viability of the multi-material structure indicate that the proposed manufacturing technique is appropriate for individualized hybrid composite structures with complex geometries.

Nanotwinned (nt) metals exhibit superior electrical and mechanical properties compared to their coarse-grained and nano-grained counterparts. They have a unique microstructure with grains that contain layered nanoscale twins divided by coherent twin boundaries (TBs). Since nanotwinned metals have low electrical resistivity and high resistance to electromigration, they are ideal materials for making nanowires, interconnections and switches. In this paper we show the possibility of making nanotwinned copper interconnections on a non-conductive substrate using a novel additive manufacturing technique called L-PED. Through this approach, microscale interconnections can be directly printed on the substrate in environmental conditions and without post processing.
