Handbook of Sustainability in Additive Manufacturing [electronic resource] : Volume 1 /
Muthu, Subramanian Senthilkannan.editor.
Savalani, Monica Mahesh.editor.
This book highlights the sustainability aspects of additive manufacturing (AM) in two separate volumes. It describes the details of this technology and its implications on the entire product life cycle sustainability, as well as embedded carbon and the further research needed to move this technology towards sustainable, mainstream production. Sustainability is not new for any area of industry, including additive manufacturing, and there are currently a number of ongoing research projects, both in industry and in academic institutions, that are investigating sustainability, embedded carbon and research activities which would need to be done in the future to move this technology towards sustainable mainstream production.
Description based upon print version of record.
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.
Introduction -- Invasion of Sustainability in Additive Manufacturing -- Sustainability in Additive Manufacturing -- Sustainable product design in Additive Manufacturing -- Sustainability characteristics for Additive Manufacturing -- Sustainable enhancement of Additive Manufacturing -- Can Additive Manufacturing be a medium for sustainable future?.
