The role of mechanical testing in additive manufacturing: review

Additive Manufacturing has become a new era of manufacturing technology that goes beyond traditional subtractive manufacturing. It is based on layer-by-layer material deposition technology. widely used due to its various advantages such as accurate production in short time, required product design and complexity, easy operation, rapid prototyping, etc. automobile industry, oil electric power aerospace biomedical applications many more. Mechanical testing plays an important role understanding the complex relationships between basic process parameters, defects, final AM process. tensile testing, fatigue torsion hardness impact tests are crucial determine performance parameters component product. Owing increasing additive fields it analyse components produced for their mechanical hence very This paper aims review performed area manufacture available published data properties additively manufactured components. processes discusses materials current research.
