With a turnover of some 5-15 billion / year, the additive manufacturing has industrial niches bearers thanks to processes and materials more and more optimized. While some niches still exist on the application of additive techniques in traditional fields (from jewelery to food for example), several trends emerge, using new concepts: collective production, realization of objects at once (without addition Of material), micro-fluidic, 4D printing exploiting programmable materials and materials, bio-printing, etc. There are both opportunities for new markets, promises not envisaged less than 10 years ago, but difficulties in reaching them.

With a market of some Γé¼ 5ΓÇô15 billion / year, an increase of more than 25% / year, additive manufacturing has industrial niche carriers thanks to more optimized processes and materials. New niches are created on the application of additive techniques in areas such as mechanics, jewelery, food, clothing, medicine, etc. The purpose of the book would seek a "historical" description of additive manufacturing by showing the links between creativity, science, technology, industrial initial demand and openings on other fields ... From these relations come 7 major modes of additive manufacturing which will underpin the "demonstrationΓÇ¥.
