The Basic Additive Manufacturing Process 131 discusses the general steps involved in most additive manufacturing (AM) procedures. Important steps include creating 3D computer models, converting those models to AM-compatible file formats, setting up and running an AM machine, and removing and post-processing parts. The manufacturing industry is increasingly finding AM to be an important resource for rapid prototyping and creating end-use parts, so it is essential that engineers and operators understand AM technology and its basic processes. Understanding the basic AM process will help engineers and operators more easily learn a specific AM operation's unique considerations and procedures. A basic understanding of AM can also help with assessing AM's value within a manufacturing operation. After completing this course, users will understand the standard steps involved in any AM process.
