Additive Manufacturing

The field of additive manufacturing is growing dynamically, with continued interest from manufacturing and other sectors. Conceptually, additive manufacturing is a method to build parts without using any part-specific tooling or dies from a computer-aided design file. This new edition of Additive Manufacturing highlights the applications in aerospace industries, biomedical devices, and construction industries, with new material on additive manufacturing at the nano- and microscale, as well as questions and additional reading materials.

Key features:
Covers basics and current technology of 3D printing of all types of materials including detailed discussions of the concerned applications Highlights the latest advancements in 3D printing and additive manufacturing technologies Includes new material on recent applications of additive manufacturing in aerospace, space, biomedical, and construction industries Contains suggested reading, questions for instructors, and PowerPoint slides for each chapter Includes regulatory issues in additive manufacturing
This book is intended for students and researchers in the field of mechanical, manufacturing, materials, and industrial engineering.
