In 3D printing, additive processes are used, in which successive layers of material are laid down under computer control. These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry, and are produced from a 3D model or other electronic data source. A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot. More recently the meaning of the term has expanded to encompass a wider variety of techniques such as extrusion and sintering based processes. Technical standards generally use the term additive manufacturing for this broader sense. Brad Phillips B Eng Adelaide University is the deputy Engineering Manager at GDLS-Australia has held a number of positions at BAE Systems, BAE Systems Australia and Tenneco. He is playing a lead role in developing the capability of GDLS-A in establishing this new capability and exploiting it to maximise its engineering benefits.
