Additive manufacturing (AM) has been gaining tremendous popularity in the public and industrial domains. The industrial landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift towards AM, as layer-by-layer manufacturing offers freedom of design by enabling production of shapes with complex internal and external features that enhance product functionality without the need for specialized tooling. For high-value-low-volume parts, or when a high degree of customization is needed, AM has been shown to decrease costs by reducing the design to fabrication cycle, by consolidating of multipart assemblies, and by reducing material waste. Thus AM has dramatically reshaped the industrial landscape, having a projected global revenue growth from $3.07B in 2013 to $21B by 2020 (Wohlers Report 2014), with key investment opportunities in related transformative research. The Canadian manufacturing sector has a unique opportunity to establish and maintain leadership through innovation in AM technologies.

增材制造（AM）在公共和工业领域获得了极大的普及。工业格局正在向增材制造转变，因为逐层制造提供了设计自由度，可以生产具有复杂内部和外部特征的形状，从而增强产品功能，而无需专门的工具。对于高价值低批量零件，或需要高度定制时，AM已被证明可以通过减少设计到制造周期，通过合并多部件装配和减少材料浪费来降低成本。因此，增材制造极大地重塑了行业格局，预计全球收入将从2013年的30.7亿美元增长到2020年的210亿美元（Wohlers Report 2014），相关变革性研究具有关键的投资机会。加拿大制造业有一个独特的机会，通过AM技术的创新来建立和保持领导地位。
