Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing, additive manufacturing (AM), digital manufacturing, and free-form fabrication are some of the synonymous expressions commonly used to identify the new class of processes through which objects are built by selectively adding material, usually layer by layer, instead of subtracting material, as in conventional machining techniques like chemical etching, laser-cutting, milling, and electroerosion [1].
