Abstract: Additive manufacturing has been developed rapidly in recent 10 years, and played an important role in industrial manufacturing, structural design, product development and higher education, providing a strong support for universities to cultivate innovative and research-oriented experimental talents, and how to apply the advanced technology to talent training is always a concern for universities. This paper analyzed the innovative experimental ability cultivation mode of talents based on additive manufacturing in Chang'an University of Mechanics and explore the application of modern processing and manufacturing technology to innovative practical teaching in colleges and universities.
