Abstract
Existing additive manufacturing (AM) processes need to be developed in order to demonstrate their potential for product fabrication. There is some scope for development of powder bed fusion by incorporating extra deposition tracks and extra powder hoppers which is given. Incorporating extra nozzle in laser solid deposition process will help make complex products – this is explained. Existing AM processes are not capable to utilize all available resources for product development, classification of AM processes suggests the development of new AM processes that will utilize untapped resources in new way. These new processes could be particle bed process, non-photopolymer bed process and sheet bed process which are given.
