Additive Manufacturing. 3D Printing for Prototyping and Manufacturing

Abstract

In this book the generally accepted so-called generic terms are used, and alternatively used names are mentioned. Generic terms and brand names have to be distinguished from each other. If they are mixed, which happens quite ofen, this frequently leads to confusion. As brand names are important in practice, they are addressed, explained, and linked to theg eneric terms in Chapter 3, where the AM machines are presented.
