Elsevier Digital Manufacturing: The Industrialization of "Art to Part" 3D Additive Printing

Digital Manufacturing: The Industrialization of "Art to Part" 3D Additive Printing explains everything needed to understand how recent advances in materials science, manufacturing engineering, and digital design have integrated to create exciting new capabilities. Starting by discussing relevant fundamentals in mechanical engineering and material science, this book goes on to deal with other more complex and practical topics related to additive manufacturing such as part manufacturing, all in the context of the modern digital design environment. Being successful in today’s "art to part" cyber-physical manufacturing age requires a strong grounding in science and engineering fundamentals as well as knowledge of the latest techniques, and readers will find both here. Every chapter is developed by leading specialists and based on first-hand experiences, capturing the essential knowledge readers need to solve problems related to digital manufacturing.
