Abstract

One of the main directions in the development of modern mechanical engineering consists in the use of novel materials and technological processes for the production of parts and products, in particular additive technologies. Nowadays, dozens of technological processes and additive manufacturing plants based on a number of physical and chemical effects have been developed and implemented. A brief history, the basic principles, and the features and advantages of additive technologies are considered, and a system for their classification, based on a generalized morphological approach, is proposed. All the known and promising technologies are placed in a morphological matrix; further a space of possible technical solutions is analyzed and formed. The number of potential variants amounts to 276  420. The proposed classification of additive technologies is the most complete at the moment.
