Advances in Additive Manufacturing

How do we as makers prepare for the latest advancements in additive manufacturing? In the pages of this 27-chapter book, readers are introduced to complex and rich information that illustrates benefits, accessible methods, and learning curves to avoid spending money on industrial additive manufacturing equipment. The objective is to provide readers with a thorough understanding of numerous additive manufacturing techniques, current examples, and technology uses. By combining ideas and aspirations, we can meet better methods to transform AM into useful products that contribute to a lasting future.

The book starts with fundamental knowledge of how to interpret and use fused metal deposition on 3D printed objects. Read directions on which software supplies and procedures are best for you. More highlights include the fundamental principles of laser powder bed fusion and delineated the procedural workflow for constructing parts. Furthermore, the chapters discuss obstacles to further advancements in environmentally friendly materials, energy efficiency, and additive manufacturing (AM) recycling techniques needed for a more environmentally conscious ecosystem.
