AM 101: Additive Manufacturing Materials
In processes like machining, the material is a known quantity. A part starts as a block of material, or perhaps a forging or casting. Its form changes in the machining process, but its inherent material properties are already set. In additive manufacturing, however, the material properties are being established alongside the geometry of the part.
