  With an exponential rise in the popularity and availability of additive
manufacturing (AM), a large focus has been directed toward research in this
topic's movement, while trying to distinguish themselves from similar works by
simply adding nanomaterials to their process. Though nanomaterials can add
impressive properties to nanocomposites (NCs), there are expansive amounts of
opportunities that are left unexplored by simply combining AM with NCs without
discovering synergistic effects and novel emerging material properties that are
not possible by each of these alone. Cooperative, evolving properties of NCs in
AM can be investigated at the processing, morphological, and architectural
levels. Each of these categories are studied as a function of the amplifying
relationship between nanomaterials and AM, with each showing the systematically
selected material and method to advance the material performance, explore
emergent properties, as well as improve the AM process itself. Innovative,
advanced materials are key to faster development cycles in disruptive
technologies for bioengineering, defense, and transportation sectors. This is
only possible by focusing on synergism and amplification within additive
manufacturing of nanocomposites.
