“…In the spirit of providing the technical foundation for accelerating growth of AM, it is a great pleasure to present the 2017 follow-up installment to the special topic Progress in Additive Manufacturing. 11,12 Taken together, the papers here demonstrate deeper understanding of the depth and breadth of the AM field. They present work on a cross-section of processing routes including laser powder bed fusion, electron beam powder bed fusion, powder bed binder jetting, ultrasonic additive manufacturing, and fused deposition modeling.…”

The past year has seen accelerated growth and adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) by several measures, most notably in industrial adoption and implementation for materials intensive applications. Per the Wohlers Report 2016, the AM industry, consisting of all AM products and services worldwide, grew 25.9% (CAGR) to a total of US$5.165 billion in 2015.1 Further, sales of AM systems for manufacturing metal parts grew at a year-on-year rate of 46.9% for the most recent data available.1 This is reflective of greater interest and acceptance of the industrial manufacturing community for AM as a standard technique.This acceptance is the product of over 25 years of intensive research and development. Two early works of note include the first paper describing powder bed fusion AM in JOM in 1990, 2 in this case a polymeric wax and ABS materials. Similarly, the first description of using powder bed fusion AM for metals in Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A appeared in 1993, 3 in this case using intermetallic nickel-tin powder. Comparison of these early papers to recently published work 4 documenting fatigue evaluation of Ti-6Al-4V and nickel alloy 625, produced using commercially available powders and commercially available equipment, shows the progress that the materials processing community has driven and which serves as the foundation for accelerating growth in applications.The bedrock for this growth is the deeper understanding of the entire value stream for producing AM parts. For metal part production in the traditional manufacturing paradigm, a foundry provides material specifications to original equipment manufacturers consisting of the raw feedstock specification, cast properties, and forged ingot properties as applicable. In the new AM paradigm, the process looks quite different on first review. However, on deeper evaluation, the metal additive process qualification route follows the standard material intensive manufacturing route with specific elements modified per the process itself. The supplied powder is certified to specification, a fixed process is qualified, mechanical and chemical properties of interest are measured for the specific application, and an ongoing monitor for compliance is established. Post-machining, thermal processing, and non-destructive inspection and testing protocols specific to performance requirements are implemented just as in a performanceintensive weldment or cast component application. A critical role for the minerals, metals, and materials community is exploring and evaluating elements of the total process value stream and impacts on the microstructure and defect populations in relation to performance. Further, new characterization and non-destructive inspection methods tailored for complex AM-produced structures will be a key contribution by the community.The additive revolution is clearly accelerating, as evidenced by the growth in investment and industrial applications. As of this writing at the close of 2016, 40 CFM International LEAP-1A engines with AM-produced f...

“…AM must, however, overcome several challenges including high titanium powder costs, surface roughness, thermally induced residual stresses/distortions, costly inspection methods and process variability leading to component property uncertainty [14][15]. The effect of factors such as lot to lot variations, powder characteristics from different suppliers, and the effect of using fresh powder versus used feedstocks must be understood.…”

Key progress activities in the US industrial, government and academic sectors that have taken place since the 12th World Conference will be discussed, taking into account metallurgical, processing, fabrication, new applications and modeling considerations. Key drivers in the aerospace and industrial sectors, has been cost reduction driven by increased competition in almost all sectors. That has been one of the major drivers for the high level of funding for the integration of computational materials models across multiple length scales and engineering disciplines. This enables reducing of both developmental time and cost for new materials and processes.
