Most metal additive manufacturing (AM) methods involve sintering powder with an energy source like a laser or an electron beam, or a welding-like process that melts powder or wire to build up parts.

The AM process begins with a digital design, usually created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, which is then sliced into thin layers. Depending on the specific AM technique, material may be ...
