Editorial: Additive manufacturing for polymers

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a kind of technology that manufactures 15 solid parts based on model (CAD model) with layer-by-layer accumulation materials, which 16 allows AM to make flexible and customized designs product structures quickly accurately 17 transform design ideas into prototypes or even shorten time-to-market reduce costs, 18 irreplaceable advantages in the manufacture complex structural characteristics delicate 19 component structures. However, there are still many limitations development 20 polymer such restricted available mechanical strength 21 products needs be higher than those produced by traditional methods. Filament Fabrication parameters Ti-6Al-4V/PA-CF joints this process 56 combination using three-point bending test method. The data analysis indicated printing 57 speed was main parameter affecting joint strength, followed inclination angle, 58 coating height exhibiting only minor effect. 59The In conclusion, research topic presented insightful innovative reports focusing 76 technique, promoting field. We sincerely thank all authors reviewers 77 for contributing topic.
