In view of the growing technological evolution and the consequent competitiveness in the market, the interest of large and emerging economies in the adoption of new technologies and in the incentive to innovation has been perceived more and more. Popularly known as 3D printing, additive manufacturing emerges as a great possibility to supply this demand, stimulating innovation and competitiveness in the manufacture of products, while making business models more flexible. So, and in view of the rise of additive manufacturing in the market perceived in recent years, this technology has become an indispensable object of study not only for engineers and students in the field, but for everyone. The aim of the present study is to present a literature review about additive manufacturing and its applications in the industry, in order to provide an overview on the subject. For this, an extensive research was carried out on websites, databases, books and academic works related to the proposed theme. After the review, it was found that additive manufacturing is already a reality for the industry, recent investments demonstrate that it is being seen as something that can revolutionize the market, and already has satisfactory results in its applications. Despite its limitations, it is clear that additive manufacturing is moving towards consolidating itself in the market and in everyone's daily lives.
