Abstract
Chapter 1 Damir Godec, Ana Pilipovic, ´ Tomislav Breški, Julia Ureña, Olga Jordá, Mario Martínez, Joamin Gonzalez-Gutierrez, Stephan Schuschnigg, José Ramón Blasco, and Luis Portolés 1.1 What is Additive Manufacturing Modern markets place increasingly stringent requirements on development and production processes. Besides the requirements to improve product quality and the level of flexibility in development and production, additional requirements are being imposed to reduce costs, and in particular to shorten development and production times. A new trend that is increasingly visible in certain segments of the markets is the abandonment of mass production in favour of small-scale, and very often individual (personalized) production. In order to meet such market demands, modern additive manufacturing processes have been developed and applied since the second half of the 1980s. The main feature of these processes is the addition of material, usually layer by layer, until the entire product is made. Such production principle makes it possible to create a complex product geometry that would be very difficult or impossible to make with other, traditional manufacturing processes. An additional feature of additive processes is manufacturing of products directly from 3D CAD model without the need for additional tools or fixtures. Historically, modern additive
