[0002] Additive manufacturing technology, commonly known as 3D printing technology, is an advanced manufacturing process opposite to traditional machining and other "subtractive manufacturing" technologies. Based on the principle of layer-by-layer stacking, it manufactures three-dimensional entities by accumulating two-dimensional cross-sections point by point. This technology can directly convert three-dimensional digital models into solid parts, not only achieving the lightweight of part structures but also improving the composite level of part performance.

These characteristics enable additive manufacturing technology to show great application potential in fields such as personalized customization, complex structure manufacturing, and rapid prototype development.
