| Abstract: | With their exceptional hardness and wear resistance, diamond tools hold an irreplaceable position in critical fields such as precision machining, geological exploration, and construction engineering. However, traditional manufacturing processes like powder metallurgy still face numerous limitations in terms of structural design optimization, the controllability of diamond particle distribution, and the shortening of production cycles. In recent years, additive manufacturing has emerged as a disruptive technology that precisely constructs three-dimensional structures in a layer-by-layer manner, offering new possibilities for the customized design and functionally integrated manufacturing of high-performance and complex-structured diamond tools. This paper systematically reviews the recent research progress on the additive manufacturing of diamond tools. It focuses on summarizing the fabrication characteristics and performance of metal-bonded diamond tools, resin-bonded diamond tools, and ceramic-bond diamond tools prepared by different additive manufacturing processes. On this basis, the paper further discusses the key technical challenges and future development directions in this field, with the aim of providing a theoretical reference and technical guidance for the design optimization and engineering applications of additively manufactured diamond tools.
