Abstract

Additive manufacturing is an integral part of the upcoming digital era and is still develo** to become more effective and affordable. Various challenges are faced during the making of additive manufactured parts. Even after extensively using high-tech designing software to design the parts, we are not able to attain the desired product finish after manufacturing due to some design challenges. Manufacturing using additive technology is new and is slowly evolving. This evolution has been faced with a lot of challenges from various aspects. The challenges are mainly formation of stair steps, void in the packing formation, porosity, limited additive manufacturing material palette, and large-scale building capacity, limiting to personal fabrication and rheological scaling of powder dispersed in thermoplastics. These challenges were identified and reviewed to study its formation and the reason for its occurrence. Review is done in detail about these and manufacturing process-related challenges and their effect on additive manufactured parts.
