AB Additive manufacturing commonly also called 3D printing is a process which creates 3D structures according to digital 3D models by successive deposition of material layer by layer. Electrochemical 3D printing is a relatively new form of additive manufacturing, which creates metallic structures by electrochemical reduction of metallic ions from the electrolyte onto a conductive substrate. Advantages of this technology are ability to produce structures of several materials, without inert atmosphere, thermal stresses and without using laser optics. Theoretical part was focused on introduction to additive manufacturing and overview on its technologies, description of principle of electrochemical deposition, overview on electrochemical additive manufacturing technologies and influence of parameters, which affect it. Experiments were focused on effect of selected parameters of electrochemical 3D printing on print rate, mechanical properties, porosity, and microstructure of built structures of copper.
