AB  - Additive manufacturing (AM) also known as 3D printing is a technology that builds three-dimensional (3-D) solid objects. Customized 3D objects with complex geometries and integrated functional designs can be created using 3D printing. A comprehensive review of AM process with emphasis on recent advances achieved by various researchers and industries is discussed. Summary of each 3D printing technology capabilities, advantages and limitations is provided. This article reviews significant developments of 3D printing applications in different fields such as electronics, medical industry, aerospace, automobile, construction, fashion and food industry.
