摘要
Additive manufacturing technology has been developed in Xi＇ an Jiaotong University for almost 20 years. Up to now~ it is still attracting the attentions of the researchers or manufacturers all over the world. Some in- novative processes and frontier application research are all being conducted here to catch up with the new develop- ment of this technology. In the paper, newly developed processes, such as ultraviolet-light emitting diode （UV- LED） stereolithography, ceramic stereolithography, and direct metal forming, were described. Some results of the frontier application researches, such as indirect fabrication of ceramic casting mould, wind-tunnel-testing models, photonic crystals and metamatcrials, were also briefly reviewed.
