Additive Manufacturing explains the background theory, working principles, technical specifications, and latest developments in a wide range of additive manufacturing techniques.Topics addressed include treatments of additively manufactured parts, surface characterization, as well as the effects of surface treatments on mechanical behaviour. Many different perspectives on this field are addressed, including design, technology, materials, and sustainability. Experts in both academia and industry contribute to this comprehensive guide, combining theoretical developments with practical improvements from R&D. This unique guide will allow readers to compare the characteristics of different processes, understand how they work, and also provides parameters for their effective implementation. This is part of a 4 volume set entitled Handbooks in Advanced Manufacturing. The other 3 address Advanced Machining and Finishing, Advanced Welding and Deformation, and Sustainable Manufacturing Processes. Provides theory, operational parameters, and latest developments in 20 different additive manufacturing processes Includes contributions from experts in industry and academia with a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, providing a comprehensive survey of this diverse and influential subject Includes case studies of innovative additive manufacturing practices from industry
