This chapter explained in detail an appraisal of the methodologies and suitable materials used in AM for advancing the aerospace industry with the performances of topological and material optimization, design integration and part consolidation that promotes profitable quantity and quality products:

 – The progression and characteristics of AM technology were studied, along with the impact of material properties and processing operations such as orientation and part performance relevant to specific user-defined part design, which should be developed to enhance the shape and structure of alloyed elements.

 – The different new materials with varying mechanical and metallurgical properties should be examined to find a better strength-to-weight ratio than the existing alloys.

 – AM acts as a single-step process to fabricate multifaceted components; hence, simulation and analysis of AM parts should be carried out to avoid and investigate errors in the design of the component and its failure to prevent wastage of materials.
