25% growth year on year, with a projected global market value of $22bn by 2022, additive manufacturing has experienced significant growth and development in the last ten years. Born out of rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing is the digitalisation of 3D design data used to build up a component in layers by depositing material. The term "additive" relates to the adoption of this process to manufacture series-production components through this method. Built up layer by layer, offering alternative design and material capabilities, this dynamic and revolutionary market has successfully disrupted the traditional thoughts and methods of design and manufacturing.
