Abstract: Additive Manufacturing (AM) has transformed industrial processes by enabling the production of complex, customized, and lightweight components with high efficiency. This article explores recent innovations in AM, highlighting advancements in technologies, materials, and applications across various industries like aerospace, automotive, healthcare, construction, and manufacturing. Key developments such as metal additive manufacturing, hybrid AM techniques, multi-material printing, high-speed sintering, and large-scale were examined, emphasizing their transformative impact. Additionally, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, and real-time monitoring in AM processes were discussed as means of enhancing precision, reducing defects, and optimizing production efficiency. Despite its numerous benefits, AM faces challenges related to scalability, cost, material limitations, and sustainability. However, emerging solutions continue to improve its feasibility for broader industrial adoption. The findings suggest that continuous research and technological advancements will further drive AM toward next-generation manufacturing, enhancing customization, lightweight structures, and operational efficiency. This review provides valuable insights for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals seeking to leverage the latest developments in AM for industrial applications.
