This paper examines additive manufacturing technologies in the context of their potential use in flexible manufacturing systems. It reviews which current technologies are capable of producing full-strength production parts. It also examines which technologies might be applicable to FMS and how they might be implemented as part of a hybrid manufacturing cell.
