Applications and Limitations of Additive Manufacturing Techniques for Manufacturing Components of Aerospace Industry

The present paper looks into the types of additive manufacturing relevant to aerospace industry while discussing its advantages and limitations with future fields requiring research and development, while also discussing the impact of additive manufacturing (AM) on the manufacturing industry and the reasons due to which it has remained growing swiftly in numerous fields in the past couple of years. Amongst them, aerospace has been attracting further attention due to substantial funding by the primary aeronautical firms for evolving the AM industrial applications. Nevertheless, a lot of research and development has been progressing to make it more adaptable and a harmless technology and needs making development in original materials, technologies, process design and cost efficiency.
