From additive manufacturing to 3D/4D printing. 1, From concepts to achievements /

Show other versions (1)

In 1984, additive manufacturing represented a new methodology for manipulating matter, consisting of harnessing materials and/or energy to create three-dimensional physical objects. Today, additive manufacturing technologies represent a market of around 5 billion euros per year, with an annual growt...
