Additive Manufacturing Technology (inbunden, eng)

Highly comprehensive resource covering all key aspects of the current developments of additive manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing Technology: Design, Optimization, and Modeling provides comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of the latest advances in various additive manufacturing technologies for polymeric materials, metals, multi-materials, functionally graded materials, and cell-laden bio-inks.

It also details the application of numerical modeling in facilitating the design and optimization of materials, processes, and printed parts in additive manufacturing.

The topics covered in this book include:

• Fundamentals and applications of 4D printing, 3D bioprinting of cell-laden bio-inks, and multi-material additive manufacturing
• Alloy design for metal additive manufacturing, mechanisms of metallurgical defect formation, and the mechanical properties of printed alloys
• Modified inherent strain method for the rapid prediction of residual stress and distortion within parts fabricated by additive manufacturing
• Modeling of the different stages in polymer and metal additive manufacturing processes, including powder spreading, melting, and thermal stress evolution

By providing extensive coverage of highly relevant concepts and important topics in the field of additive manufacturing, this book highlights its essential role in Industry 4.0 and serves as a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and students in materials science, engineering, and biomedicine.
