The Opportunity Advanced Manufacturing is a critical field of development and has been evolving rapidly since the first inception of additive manufacturing for rapid prototyping. Since then, the field has exploded and involves every type of material, from metals to polymers, ceramics and composites. What was once known as additive manufacturing has evolved into advanced manufacturing with the creation of additive and subtractive manufacturing systems that combine cutting-edge additive processes with subtractive processes, such as in-situ CNC machining. Such systems enable alternating between the additive and subtractive processes, enabling even more unique structures to be fabricated. Advanced manufacturing has created a new boom for the manufacturing industries.
