The manufacturing industry has grown since the industrial revolution, but with the evolution of certain advanced technologies and the widespread use of specialized computer-aided design (CAD) software, the traditional way of manufacturing products. may be about to change. According to E. Sachs, two essential needs for industrial productivity and competitiveness are the reduction of time to market for new products and the flexible manufacturing of products in small quantities [1]. One factor that contributes to the product design process is the development of prototypes, defined as a basic model that can be tested and has characteristics that can only be seen when there is a physical product. This step also allows customers to test ideas and provide feedback, which can improve the final product. A term used in the manufacturing process is rapid prototyping (RP), which describes a process for quickly creating a representation of a system or part before final release or marketing. . Although as technologies have developed, users have noticed that this term does not effectively describe newer applications of the technologies. The basic principle of these RP technologies is that they all manufacture parts using an additive approach; this is one of the reasons why the recently adopted ASTM consensus standards now use the term Additive Manufacturing (AM) for these processes [2]. A key difference we can observe is that in the mentioned processes, instead of having a piece of raw material and using tools to cut, drill and remove parts until you get the desired shape, these techniques build the product layer by layer and thus generate little or no waste compared to traditional methods. While elimination...... middle of paper ...... which offers the advantage of working with advanced ceramics and alloys, can be used to manufacture products for high-end applications that require good mechanical and thermal properties, such as the aerospace industry or the luxury car sector. Foot and mouth disease, on the other hand, affects a more common range of industries; Products made from this process, although having good mechanical properties, are not able to withstand high temperatures or loads. However, rather than viewing them as simple prototyping processes, they have evolved rapidly and are now capable of delivering fully functional products and even improving certain areas. with their inherent additive manufacturing characteristic. Few industries today are participating in this sea change, but as technology becomes more widespread and cheaper, SLS and FDM will lead the next manufacturing revolution..
