Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, is a transformative approach to industrial production that enables the creation of complex and precise components directly from digital designs. This technology involves building objects layer by layer, typically using materials such as plastics, metals, and ceramics. Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing, which removes material to achieve the desired shape, additive manufacturing reduces waste and allows for greater design flexibility and customization. It has applications across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods. By enabling rapid prototyping, reducing lead times, and minimizing material use, additive manufacturing is revolutionizing production processes and fostering innovation in product development. This method also facilitates the creation of complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional manufacturing techniques. Such selected concepts that redefine manufacturing processes have been presented in this book. The topics included in this book on additive manufacturing are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. The book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.
