Additive manufacturing is the industrial production name for 3 D printing, a computer controlled process that creates 3D objects by depositing materials usually in layers. Using computer aided design (CAD) or 3D object scanners, additive manufacturing allows for the creation of objects with precise geometric shapes. Additive manufacturing processes take the information from a computer-aided design (CAD) file that is later converted to a stereo lithography (STL) file. These are built layer by layer which is in contrast to traditional manufacturing that often requires machining or other techniques to remove surplus material. Additive manufacturing has introduced a novel method in design, manufacturing, and distribution to end to end users. This technology has provided great freedom in design for creating complex components, highly customizable products and efficient waste minimization. This paper mainly concentrates on raising the importance of additive manufacturing and how additive manufacturing has advantages over conventional manufacturing process. Additive manufacturing has revolutionized the production industry by providing Freedom of design; less wastage of raw material, the desired product can be manufactured by adding materials of desired properties. The additive manufacturing includes VAT polymerization, powder sintering, hybrid, 3D printing, metal extrusion, Sheet lamination, metal jetting, Direct energy deposition..
