additive manufacturing (AM), a process of
joining materials to make objects from 3D
model data, usually layer upon layer, as
opposed to subtractive manufacturing
methodologies.
ASTM F2792 - 12a Standard Terminology for Additive Manufacturing Technologies
Oxford Dictionaries:
make (something) on a large scale using machinery
make or produce (something abstract) in a merely mechanical way
Online Etymology Dictionary:
1560s, "something made by hand," from Middle French manufacture,
from Latin manu "hand" + factura "a working,“
3D printing, the fabrication of objects
through the deposition of a material using a
print head, nozzle, or another printer
technology.
ASTM F2792 - 12a Standard Terminology for Additive
Manufacturing Technologies
Many processes that have the common
theme, controlled material removal, are
today collectively known as subtractive
manufacturing, in distinction from processes
of controlled material addition, which are
known as additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing is latest technology making inroads into

Plastic in 3D Printing
Currently, plastics are the most widely used materials in
additive manufacturing, and the important ones are listed
below:
ABS - acrylonitile butadiene styrene or 'lego' plastic – a
very common choice for 3D printing
PLA - polylactic acid – Is available in soft and hard grades,
is becoming very popular and may overtake ABS in the
near future
MetalsSome of the metals used in 3D printing include the following:
•Steel
•Stainless steel
•Titanium
•Gold
•Silver
Other
Bio-Ink - Bio-ink comprises stem cells and cells
from a patient, which can be laid down, layer by
layer to form a tissue. Human organs such as blood
vessels, bladders and kidney portions have been
replicated using this technology.
Bone material- Bone material comprises silicon,
calcium phosphate and zinc.
.
If 3d printer is available
1. Design the structure in CAD software or
scan from a 3D scanner in case the structure
is so complicated.
2. Send the file to a 3D printer.
3. Wait till it gets printed as it is a layer by layer process.
4.Now you can see the miracle.
