Abstract:

Additive manufacturing (AM), which has entered the manufacturing sector in recent years and is rapidly developing, also known as rapid prototyping and three-dimensional (3D) printing names; It is a modern manufacturing method that allows the materials to be combined and produced in layers as opposed to the stock removal approach in traditional computer aided production. The AM method has many advantages such as the production of complex geometry parts, rapid supply and operation, low cost, efficient material use, simplifying assembly stages, producing parts with internal channels and cavities, and being a suitable manufacturing method for remote production. However, considering the high number of productions, AM is costlier than mass production. The limited variety of materials and print size, post-production post-processing applications are other disadvantages of AM. Poor surface quality has highlighted the need for machining research. Parts produced by the AM method also need machining operations to meet application requirements. In machining of parts produced with AM, different machinability properties may emerge compared to producing parts from traditional materials. For this reason, it is of great importance to investigate the effects of machining parameters on the piercing properties of AM parts. Advantages in AM production costs can be obtained through the researches to be carried out. There will always be studies to be carried out in areas that have deficiencies in AM. Researching a future manufacturing process is important considering the goals of our country in the aviation and defence industry.
