1. The Landscape of Additive Manufacturing 2020 Vision Pacific Northwest

2. What is Additive Manufacturing? (AM), n—a process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies. Synonyms: additive processes, additive techniques, additive layer manufacturing, layer manufacturing, and freeform fabrication. --ASTM Designation F2792-12a
