دانلود کتاب Additive Manufacturing Innovations, Advances, and Applications

The innovation of creating a three-dimensional object layer by layer using computer-aided design(CAD) was originally termed rapid prototyping, a valuable technique that was developed in theearly 1980s for the purpose of manufacturing. In its early stages, rapid prototyping was typicallyused to create models and prototype parts and offered quick realization of what engineers hadenvisioned. Rapid prototyping was one of the preliminary processes that eventually culminatedin additive manufacturing (AM), which allows the production of actual printed parts, in additionto models. The most notable advances the process offers are the development and production ofproducts with a noticeable reduction in both time and cost, facilitated by increased human interactionand optimization of the product development cycle, thus making it possible to create almostany shape that would otherwise be difficult to machine using conventional techniques. With theemergence of additive manufacturing, scientists, engineers, and even students can rapidly build andanalyze models for the purpose of theoretical comprehension and related studies. In the medicalprofession, doctors have been able to build models of various parts of the body to analyze injuries ordisease and to plan appropriate medical procedures. Additive manufacturing has also made it possiblefor market researchers to gather the opinions of potential buyers of newly developed productsand for artists to explore their creativity.
