This chapter aims to give a general description of the additive manufacturing process and its future trends, focused mainly on the rapid development of robots and has three main parts. The first part briefly describes the seven categories of Additive Manufacturing Technologies. Second is the landscape of active and expired key patents, providing a general picture of the present and future of the different technologies in terms of accessibility for small companies or researcher groups working on robotics. Finally, the impact of Additive Manufacturing and the leading market trends are discussed to shape the near future of its technologies in Rapid Roboting.
