Additive manufacturing has had a relevant role in the new industrial revolution owing to the way of a part are designed, manufactured, and distributed to final consumers.Current commercial mechanisms have problems related to their limited degree of freedom.In order to improve them, there are possibilities to adapt either a serial manipulator or a kinematics parallel mechanism to the process.The first ones have disadvantages related to cost, inertia ant answer time; the second ones can solve these issues.However, using these kinds of mechanisms is necessary, considering other types of aspects such as mechanical configuration, dynamics behavior, and workspace.For these reasons, this work collects information related to the above features of parallel mechanisms focused on additive manufacturing.Finally, this kind of analysis and information can be useful for other processes or studies that use kinematics parallel mechanisms.
