Additive Manufacturing Materials and Technology discusses recent developments and future possibilities in additive manufacturing. The book focuses on advanced technologies and materials, with chapters centered on shape memory materials, alloys and metals, polymers, ceramics, thermosets, biomaterials, and composites. Fiber-reinforced materials are covered as well, as are the lifecycle and performance criteria of 3D printed materials. Other chapters look at the various applications of these materials and processing techniques, covering their use in the aerospace and automotive sectors, construction, bioengineering, and the pharmaceutical industry. Various additive manufacturing techniques such as electron beam melting, selective laser melting, laser sintered, fused deposition, and more are also studied.
