Whereas many classical manufacturing methods are based on deforming or removing material, such as rolling or milling, additive manufacturing is based on repeatedly adding material to a build to obtain the near netshape layer-by-layer in an automated manner. Many different additive manufacturing methods have been developed, including stereolithography,powder bed fusion, and deposition methods, each with their own advantages and challenges for a wide range of materials, including polymers, metals, ceramics, concrete and even food. These new production methods enable realisation of geometrically complex product geometries. For example, complex designs with internal cavities and structures, such as inmetamaterials, or intricate designs obtained with topology optimization methods can be manufactured, increasing design freedom. Also, these techniques allow for small series production, part integration and customization of individual products.Initial research focused on the technological development of additive manufacturing equipment, but thistechnology has now reached the stage where more fundamental research will lead to further advancements, and this creates many opportunities for cool new science that can impact the industry. This research covers the entire path from the additive production process, modelling of the process, the specific microstructures created by this process, the resulting material properties and performance, and design based on these properties and process constraints. All these aspects are covered by the research within the Engineering Mechanics graduate school, such as in the various projects of the AiM2XL programme that focuses on direct energy deposition methods for manufacturing large components. In this workshop, current research and future challenges in research on additive manufacturing will be presented
