Introduction of additive technologies in modern metallurgical enterprises

The fourth industrial revolution is a challenge for manufacturing, especially for such a conservative industry as metallurgy. Advanced manufacturing technologies are shaping a new digital society. Additive technologies are already actively used in industry. 3D printing is used in various fields of metallurgy. Thus, the purpose of the study is to analyze the experience of using additive technologies in metallurgical enterprises in the context of the development of the fourth industrial revolution. Modern metallurgical enterprises are implementing the principles of agile manufacturing. Such enterprises pay great attention to the introduction of advanced production technologies. The future of additive technologies in metallurgy is very promising. With the development of technology, the cost of equipment and materials is decreasing, which makes 3D printing more accessible in various fields of application for a wide range of enterprises.
