Abstract: Advanced materials are new materials with excellent properties, which are characterized by high strength, extreme temperature resistance, high biocompatibility, or special functions such as self-healing, shape memory and environmental response. Advanced materials have become the key foundation to support the development of high-end manufacturing. However, due to the high hardness, high melting point, high brittleness and other characteristics of advanced materials, the disadvantages of traditional processing methods are gradually revealed. The additive manufacturing technology based on material layer by layer cumulative forming is especially suitable for advanced materials to form complex three-dimensional structures, and has made significant progress in product development and industrial application. Therefore, a review of the research and development in additive manufacturing of advanced materials is provided. Firstly, the related concepts of advanced materials and additive manufacturing are elaborated, and the development prospect of their synergy is analyzed; Secondly, based on different forming principles, the development status and technical advantages of various advanced material additive manufacturing are introduced; Thirdly, the advanced material system is systematically reviewed, and its application status in additive manufacturing is summarized; Then the application status of the technology in different fields is shown, and the actual cases are listed; Finally, the existing problems of this technology are discussed, and the future development direction is prospected.
