Overview of Selective Laser Melting for Industry 5.0: Toward Customizable, Sustainable, and Human-Centric Technologies

Industry 5.0 combines automation/digitalization with human capabilities to create a more intuitive, interactive, and sustainable working environment. Additive manufacturing, widely known as 3D printing, is key technology used increase customization efficiency reduce waste in manufacturing. enables manufacturers environmentally consumer-centric products. However, there lack of studies on the introduction AM technologies 5.0. The present study investigates use additive manufacturing for fabrication metallic parts/assemblies correlation between human-centric technologies, environmental sustainability. Effective communication these components achieving goals 5.0, important parameters are shown this article. work focused an overview impact futuristic subdivision applied parts/assemblies, specifically, printing challenging alloys or composites (such copper and/or hard particles).
