The Evolution Status of Additive Manufacturing Raw Materials

Additive manufacturing is an advanced manufacturing technology that has developed rapidly in the past ۳۰ years. Its advantage lies in the rapid and free manufacturing of three-dimensional structures, which has had a huge impact on the traditional machinery manufacturing industry. As the material basis of additive manufacturing, the performance and price of raw materials will be the bottleneck restricting the rapid development of additive manufacturing. According to the classification of chemical composition, the application status of polymer materials, metal materials and ceramic materials in the field of additive manufacturing are reviewed, the problemsand gaps of china’s additive manufacturing raw materials are pointed out, and the future development direction is prospected.
