From additive manufacturing to 3D/4D printing, 2: Current techniques, improvements and their limitations
Additive manufacturing, which was first invented in France and then applied in the United States, is now 33 years old and represents a market of around 5 billion euros per year, with annual growth of between 20 and 30%. Today, additive manufacturing is experiencing a great amount of innovation in it...
