The field of additive manufacturing is growing dynamically as the interest is persisting from manufacturing sector, including other sectors. Conceptually, additive manufacturing is a way to build parts without using any part-specific tooling or dies from the computer-aided design file of the part. Third edition of Additive Manufacturing highlights the applications in aerospace industries, biomedical devices, and construction industries with new material on additive manufacturing at the nano- and micro-scale including highlights, questions, and additional reading materials.

Key Features:

• Covers basics and current technology of 3D printing of all types of materials including detailed discussions of the concerned applications
• Highlights the latest advancements in 3D printing and additive manufacturing technologies
• Includes new material on recent applications of additive manufacturing in aerospace, space, biomedical, construction industries
• Contains suggested reading, questions for instructors and power point slides for each of the chapter
• Includes regulatory issues in additive manufacturing

This book is aimed at Students and Researchers in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Materials, and Industrial engineering.
