Abstract
Additive manufacturing is a technology rapidly expanding on a number of industrial sectors It provides design freedom and environmental/ecological advantages It transforms essentially design files to fully functional products However it is still hampered by low productivity poor quality and uncertainty of final part mechanical properties The root cause of undesired effects lies in the control aspects of the process Optimization is difficult due to limited modelling approaches Physical phenomena associated with additive manufacturing processes are complex including melting/solidification and vaporization heat and mass transfer etc The goal of the current study is to map available additive manufacturing methods based on their process mechanisms review modelling approaches based on modelling methods and identify research gaps Later sections of the study review implications for closedloop control of the processOpen Access This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 40 International License http//creativecommonsorg/licenses/by/40/ which permits unrestricted use distribution and reproduction in any medium provided you give appropriate credit to the original authors and the source provide a link to the Creative Commons license and indicate if changes were made
