Additive manufacturing (AM) make simpler the manufacturing of difficult geometric structures. Its possibility has quickly prolonged from the manufacture of pre-fabrication conception replicas to the making of finish practice portions driving the essential for superior part feature guarantee in the additively fabricated products. Machine learning (ML) is one of the encouraging methods that can be practiced to succeed in this aim. A modern study in this arena contains the procedure of managed and unconfirmed ML algorithms for excellent control and forecast of mechanical characteristics of AM products. This chapter describes the development of applying machine learning (ML) to numerous aspects of the additive manufacturing whole chain, counting model design, and quality evaluation. Present challenges in applying machine learning (ML) to additive manufacturing and possible solutions for these problems are then defined. Upcoming trends are planned in order to deliver a general discussion of this additive manufacturing area.

The present work aims at providing the first considerations upon the application of innovative manufacturing technology for civil engineering purposes. In particular, among the 3D printing processes currently available, Weld-Based Additive Manufacturing (WAM) results to be the most suitable technique for the realization of innovative structural forms in metal material. The great potential of taking the printing head "out of the box" allows for the construction of innovative shapes by adding layer upon layer of welded steel. In particular, the study is focused on the realization of the first 3D-printed steel footbridge by a Dutch company held in Amsterdam, called MX3D, and its Additive manufacturing process, which results in specific constraints and limitations to be taken into account for design purposes. First, the design issues are described, by considering the printing parameters to be adopted for the realization of large-dimensions structures, and then the implications in terms of specific geometrical and mechanical characteristics are studied. These first engineering evaluations are intended to pave the way towards the development of a ground-breaking technology for the fully-automated design and construction of novel 3D-printed building structures through innovative robotic manufacturing processes whose parameters are still not fully known

Additive manufacturing (AM) is the name given to a family of manufacturing processes where materials are joined to make parts from 3D modelling data, generally in a layer-upon-layer manner. AM is rapidly increasing in industrial adoption for the manufacture of end-use parts, which is therefore pushing for the maturation of design, process, and production techniques. Machine learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence concerned with training programs to self-improve and has applications in a wide range of areas, such as computer vision, prediction, and information retrieval. Many of the problems facing AM can be categorised into one or more of these application areas. Studies have shown ML techniques to be effective in improving AM design, process, and production but there are limited industrial case studies to support further development of these techniques.
