Abstract:

The additive manufacturing method is an innovative production method that enables a part designed in a computer environment to be produced directly without the need for any mold. Thanks to the practicality of the process; freedom of design, possibility of customizing the product, low waste amount, rapid creation of complex shaped structures and rapid prototyping of the product before mass production are among the production methods whose name and influence we will feel more in the future. In this paper emphasizes additive manufacturing methods, materials used and trending applications. Additive manufacturing methods; Innovative applications in aerospace, biomedical, automotive and construction sectors are discussed. Current developments related to metal, polymer, ceramic and composite materials used in additive manufacturing are presented in the study. In addition, the obstacles to the development and dissemination of the additive manufacturing method are also mentioned in the article. In paper, the improvements made in the field of additive manufacturing, the advantages of the method and the obstacles in front of it were discussed and an overview of the future application areas was presented.
