•    Description:  Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing (3DP), embodies a group of emerging technologies that create a functional 3D object from any one of a variety of materials, including aluminum alloys, by adding material a layer at a time until the final shape is achieved. This article provides an overview of the use of aluminum alloys in AM processes, which are primarily being used in niche markets for prototyping and limited production parts. It also includes a look at the progres on AM standards and specifications.
