Solid Freeform and Additive Fabrication：VOLUME542

Reports on the progress in advancing the materials to catch up to the engineering processes developments for a new approach to manufacturing that involves depositing or building up material where it is needed, thus allowing great flexibility in the shape and complexity of the product. Covers organics, composites, and laser CVD; direct metal fabrication; ceramic freeform fabrication; and ceramic freeform and layered direct fabrication. Seven of the 22 papers are invited, and discuss such topics as designing macro and microstructure, cold-spray direct fabrication, processing novel electroceramic components by SFF techniques, and fabricating components with designed cellular structure.
