Abstract
----------
Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D Printing (3DP) is an approach to process parts directly from its computer-aided design (CAD) file. AM is changing the landscapes of current industrial practices. On-demand manufacturing using AM technologies is a new trend that will significantly influence many industries and product design protocols. Different parts can be built using the same machine since there is no need for any part-specific tooling. Most of these parts are net-shape or near-net-shape and may or may not require finishing operation. Over the last nearly thirty years, we have worked on AM primarily for structural and biomedical applications. We have used fused deposition modeling, laser-based directed energy deposition (DED), powder bed fusion (PBF), and wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) processes. Using these approaches, we have manufactured parts with compositional and functional gradation. My presentation will focus on some of the key success stories from our research and current challenges in the field.
