In recent years, the 3D Printing theme is actually a rapid prototyping technology in 1984, which was defined by ASTM as Additive Manufacturing in 2009 because its popular name is known to the general public. Therefore, the 3D Printing title is called “3D Printing Association” In order to be in line with international standards, the English name is represented by Additive Manufacturing Association of Taiwan and abbreviated as AMAT.
