Abstract
Additive Manufacture – AM – is presenting an increasing growth in the last decades regarding the production of mechanical parts, due to its outstanding characteristics in relation to conventional processes. Indeed, AM is able to produce parts with unique geometries at once, which could otherwise require a lot of different operations or processes. This work aims to describe the AM variations in the mechanical parts production and their main functional features, like mechanical resistance and dimensional tolerances, when compared to currently known processes, in order to investigate their potential and competitiveness on replacing the former usual processes. Some constraints in AM technology are also raised, showing its limitation and impracticability in some applications.
