Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, is a revolutionary technology to the research and industry due to its adaptation to free design and various materials, which significantly lower the technical difficulty, time and cost to produce customized parts and becomes a powerful tool to many research activities. In this lecture, we will introduce the fundamental theory, technical development, and key scientific issues of AM technologies with emphasis on the AM of metals. The main contents include: 1. the birth of AM; 2. current AM technologies; 3. Materials aspects; 4. Function oriented AM design; 5. Processing control; 6. a typical AM example for customized medical implants; 7. Future perspectives; 8. Discussion: what is your idea to AM.
