Additive manufacturing might not be the best known and certainly most mentioned aspects of the whole Industry 4.0 range of technologies/applications but its certainly one of the most exciting, promising and ground-breaking ones (for us at least).
We need to differ though. Even if, as a term, additive manufacturing is still relatively recent, it is less so as a practice. And from the same terminology perspective, 3D Printing is far more popular (and, again, as a term also relatively recent) and is used as a synonym for additive manufacturing. In practice, it is, well, not that new either.
