This book covers Fused Deposition modeling (FDM) from its fundamentals to research advances including developments in FDM machines, development of polymer materials, novel applications, process modeling, simulation, and optimization backed by case studies and research results.

It explains the effect of important FDM parameters on part quality, appropriate methods for testing and characterization of FDM fabricated parts, FDM of composite materials, process monitoring and control. It also covers applications of FDM process in automobile, aerospace, biomedical, pharmaceutical and tissue engineering.

Key features:

• Provides all the necessary fundamental details and advancements in fused deposition modeling (FDM)
• Details novel ways of fabrication of complex and intrinsic parts by using different types of plastics and polymers materials
• Covers fabrication of miniature devices by FDM
• Discusses Finite element analysis, modeling, and optimization, and sustainability rating, for fused deposition modeling
• Includes monitoring and control, intelligent processing, and application of AI and ML based part fabrication

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in materials science and manufacturing.
