Abstract
With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing, modern components are accelerating toward being light weight, miniaturized, and complex, which provides a broad space for the application of rare earth permanent magnet materials. As an emerging near-net-shape manufacturing process, additive manufacturing (AM) has a short process flow and significantly reduces material loss and energy consumption, which brings new possibilities and impetus to the development of rare earth permanent magnetic materials. Here, the applications of AM technology in the field of rare earth permanent magnets in recent years are reviewed and prospected, including laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), fused deposition modeling (FDM), and binder jetting (BJ) techniques. Research has found that the magnetic properties of AM Nd-Fe-B magnets can reach or even exceed the traditional bonded magnets. In addition, in situ magnetic field alignment, in situ grain boundary infiltration, and post-processing methods are effective in enhancing the magnetic properties of AM magnets. These results have laid a good foundation for the development of AM rare earth permanent magnets.
