Foreword

Additive manufacturing process is an advanced manufacturing technology that offers lots of advantages to the manufacturing world, such as the ability to reduce the buy-to-fly ratio in the aerospace industry. With the additive manufacturing method, the complex part that could not be made using the traditional manufacturing process without being broken down into smaller units can now be made as a single unit object. The use of the additive manufacturing method helps to reduce the weight of the manufactured component by eliminating the extra materials needed for the assembly of the smaller units that the complex part is broken down into when the traditional manufacturing processes were used.
