[0003] Additive manufacturing (AM) has been studied over the past two decades and is currently receiving a lot of attention. Various printing techniques, such as three-dimensional or 3D printing techniques, have been used to produce components. For example, sheet welding, wire welding, melting in a powder bed or powder deposition via laser and electron beam melting, and infusion with powder have all been used. These techniques have varying degrees of geometric complexity, but generally have few constraints compared to conventional machining. The use of cold spray is also being considered in connection with additive manufacturing. Each type of technol...
