In literature, the terms additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, layered manufacturing, solid freeform fabrication, 3D fing, and 3D printing are used more or less synonymously. While "additive manufacturing" is preferred by most engineers, the term "3D printing" is far more common particularly in the popular media.

Polymers for additive manufacturing are found in the form of thermoplastic filaments, reactive monomers, resin or powder. The capability of employing 3D printing of polymers and composites has been explored for several years in many industrial applications, such as the aerospace, architectural, toy fabrication and medical fields.
