Abstract

Abstract: 3D printing or Additive manufacturing or Rapid prototyping is a technology where 3D structures are designed and printed which is currently doing good for the manufacturing sector of many industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, jewellery, constructions etc. Additive Manufacturing is a fast-emerging technology which has been exceedingly used for mass customization and fabrication of free design sourced products. Additive manufacturing is a method where the materials are put together in a desired shape via a certain process with the appropriate material type. The property of the materials used for 3D printing is highly dependent on the type and composition of the material. The various types and compositions of materials hugely impacts their implementation in potential applications which is discussed in this paper. The dominantly used materials, their composition, their properties, their applications and their future scope are discussed. This paper gives a clear overview on the material technology used in the additive manufacturing industry.
