Design for Additive Manufacturing, Second Edition is a complete guide to design tools for the manufacturing requirements of AM and how they can enable the optimization of process and product parameters for the reduction of manufacturing costs and effort. Tools for polymeric, metallic, and ceramic AM technologies are presented and critically reviewed, along with their manufacturing attributes. Commercial applications of AM are also explained with case studies from a range of industries, demonstrating best practice in AM design. This new edition has been updated to reflect various changes in fundamental AM technologies and new chapters have been added covering in-field additive manufacturing for service and repair, machine learning for AM certification, small format printing, large format printing, and ceramic printing.
"This book provides the current state-of-the-art of design for additive manufacturing (DFAM) for research and industrial applications. With the in-depth technical descriptions, references, and summary at the end of each chapter along with many practical best practices presented, this book could be used by the AM design engineer for part optimization, or by traditional part designers or students who want to learn more about AM practices." --IEEE
