Publisher's Synopsis
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.
