Bücher der Reihe Springer Tracts in Additive Manufacturing

Furthermore, producing the feedstock using waste materials will help to reduce the cost of the processing material, productivity and eco-friendliness of this manufacturing technology.

This book presents the history, fundamentals, process development, applications, post-processing, and experimental results from additive manufacturing. This book also presents content on simulation, modeling, and optimization of materials processing and surface engineering techniques.

This book contains selected papers presented at the second international Conference on Progress in Digital and Physical Manufacturing (ProDPM'21), organized by the School of Technology and Management (ESTG) of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria (IPL), from the 27th to 29th of October 2021. It represents a significant contribution to the current advances in digital and physical manufacturing issues as it contains topical research in this field. The book is an essential reading for all of those working on digital and physical manufacturing, promoting better links between the academia and the industry. The conference papers cover a wide range of important topics like biomanufacturing, advanced rapid prototyping technologies, rapid tooling and manufacturing, micro-fabrication, 3D CAD and data acquisition, and collaborative design.

This book contains selected papers from the conference CASICAM'22, presenting the latest advancements and discoveries in Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology. The chapters cover a wide range of topics related to AM, including design for additive manufacturing, functionally graded additive manufacturing (FGAM), new and innovative materials for AM, AM parts/processes modeling and simulation, AM process optimization, monitoring, and qualification, 4D printing, AM post-processing operations, AM product metrology and quality control, AM standards and certification, health, safety, and environment challenges, education, training, and research strategy, and AM applications and challenges.

This book elucidates the fundamental thermomechanical behaviour inherent in the 3D printing process within a laser-based powder bed fusion (L-PBF) system. It presents foundational concepts and provides in-depth derivations of the governing equations. The analysis encompasses arbitrary anisotropic linear viscoelastic materials, accounting for thermal effects. The authors leverage the theory of axially moving materials, a framework previously employed in the analysis of production processes within the process industry. They introduce a coordinate frame that moves in tandem with the printing laser, adopting an Eulerian perspective towards the in-motion solid. Designed for graduate students and researchers, this book is poised to foster a profound comprehension and spur innovative technological advancements in the realm of additive manufacturing.
