Additive Manufacturing – Understanding the implications and opportunities of novel manufacturing techniques on the Electrical Power Sector
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) is the industrial name for 3D printing technology. This is a computer-controlled manufacturing process, which creates 3D objects by subsequent deposition of layers. AM has developed rapidly over the past decade, but there is a lack of relevant work in the field of electrical power engineering, as much of the published work focuses on mechanical, thermal and chemical properties.
