Additive manufacturing technology (AM), also known as "3D printing", "additive production" or "additive process", is based on the idea that a model generated using a threedimensional computer-aided design (CAD 3D) system can be manufactured directly. AM significantly simplifies the process of producing complex 3D objects from CAD data. In the additive manufacturing process, parts are made by adding material in thin layers, each layer being a cross-sectional section of the original part derived from CAD data. This paper presents data on the main types of additive technologies that can be used for additive manufacturing of metallic parts, as well as a case study on the use of additive technology to produce a non-return valve seat from a valve support.
