This reference text discusses fundamentals, classification, principles,
applications of additive and subtractive manufacturing processes in a
single volume.
The text discusses 3D printing techniques with the help of practical
case studies, covers rapid tooling using microwave sintering and
ultrasonic assisted sintering process, and covers different hybrid
manufacturing techniques like cryo-MQL, and textured cutting inserts. It
covers important topics including green manufacturing, ultrasonic
assisted machining, electro thermal based non-conventional machining
processes, metal based additive manufacturing, LASER based additive
manufacturing, indirect rapid tooling, and polymer based additive
manufacturing.
The book:
- Discusses additive and subtractive manufacturing processes in detail
- Covers hybrid manufacturing processes
- Provides life cycle analysis of conventional machining
- Discusses biomedical and industrial applications of additive
manufacturing
The text will be useful for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and
academic researchers in areas including industrial and manufacturing
engineering, mechanical engineering, and production engineering.
Discussing the sustainability aspects of conventional machining in
reducing carbon footprint of machining by adopting different hybrid and
non-conventional machining processes, this text will be useful for
senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in
areas including industrial and manufacturing engineering, mechanical
engineering, and production engineering.
