Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized the field of prototyping, enabling rapid, flexible, and cost-effective production of complex components and products. This paper explores the advancements in AM technologies and their impact on prototyping, highlighting the benefits of reduced lead times, increased design freedom, and improved product quality. We discuss the current state of AM in Nigeria, its applications in various industries, and the opportunities for innovation and growth. The paper also identifies challenges and future directions for AM adoption in Nigeria, including the need for infrastructure development, skills training, and industry-academia collaboration.
Keywords
