Abstract
Abstract: ASTM defines additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, as ‘‘a process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies. Synonyms: additive fabrication, additive processes, additive techniques, additive layer manufacturing, layer manufacturing, and free for fabrication.’’ This presentation reviews the state-of-the-art of this rapidly emerging technology which has the potential to revolutionize the global parts manufacturing and logistics landscape. It enables distributed manufacturing and the productions of parts-on-demand while offering the potential to reduce cost, energy consumption, and carbon footprint. This brief explores the material science, processes, and business consideration associated with achieving these performance gains.

Bio
Dr. William E. Frazier has been an active member of ASM International joining the society as a student in 1977. He received his BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in Materials Engineering from Drexel University in 1981, 1984, and 1987 respectively. He is a graduate of the Naval Aviation
Executive Institute's Senior Executive Management Development Program, and the Defense Systems Management College's Advanced Program Management Curriculum.
Dr. Frazier is a Navy executive with 35 years of experience in naval aviation materials science and engineering. His position is that of the Navy Senior Scientist for Materials Engineering and serves as the Chief Scientist of the Air Vehicle Engineering Department at the Naval Air Systems Command. In that capacity, he provides technical direction and develops strategic plans for the research, development, and transition of naval aviation technologies.
Dr. Frazier has also been the technical architect and driving force behind several thrust areas. He developed cross disciplinary, multi-organizational program and R&D roadmaps in the following areas: (1) Additive Manufacturing (AM) of Structurally Critical Metallic Components, (2) Nano-materials and Meta-materials Technology, (3) Durable Aircraft Materials and Structures, (4) Corrosion Resistant Alloy Development, (5) Erosion Resistant Rotor Blade Materials, and (6) Integrated Structural Health Management.
Dr. Frazier is a recognized expert in (i) materials selection, qualification and certification, (ii) failure analysis, (iii) light alloy development, (iv) materials processing and manufacturing technology. He has authored more than 90 technical publications, edited 6 books, and holds two U.S. Patents. He was inducted as an ASM Fellow in 1996, and served as a Trustee of ASM from 2003 thru 2007. He has served on numerous committees including the AeroMat Committee and the Emerging Technologies Awareness Committee. Currently he serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance, and a Key Reader for Materials Transaction A.
