Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has been researched and developed for more than 20 years. Rather than removing materials, AM processes make three-dimensional parts directly from CAD models by adding materials layer by layer, offering the beneficial ability to build parts with geometric and material complexities that could not be produced by subtractive manufacturing processes. Through intensive research over the past two decades, significant progress has been made in the development and commercialization of new and innovative AM processes, as well as numerous practical applications in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy and other fields. This paper reviews the main processes, materials and applications of the current AM technology and presents future research needs for this technology.

Development of a Novel Shell Shaping Method with CFRTP: Forming Experiment Using Localized Heating in Processing Point
Abstract: Currently, 3D printing has been attracting attention as a new method of prototyping and manufacturing. However, in the case of molding of the shell shaped resin, products by the additive manufacturing method has low strength of the interlayer adhesion and low stiffness of the light curing resin. For these reasons it is difficult to achieve the equivalent strength to injection-molded products.In study, in order to improve the strength of shell shape 3D printing, the authors propose a novel forming method by means of CFRTP and a forming system based on CAD data with local heating system, which can maintain the target formable temperature by a feedback control system was developed.
