Handbook of Sustainability in Additive Manufacturing [electronic resource] : Volume 2 /
Muthu, Subramanian Senthilkannan.editor.
Savalani, Monica Mahesh.editor.
This book highlights essential aspects of sustainability in the Additive Manufacturing (AM) field in two separate volumes. It demonstrates the details of this technology and examines its implications for sustainability throughout the entire product life cycle, embedded carbon, and future research efforts that will be necessary to move this technology towards sustainable mainstream production. Sustainability is nothing new for any industrial field, and AM is no exception. Accordingly, industrialists and scientists alike are intensively engaged in research to promote sustainability in this important field.
Description based upon print version of record.
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.
Energy efficiency of metallic powder bed additive manufacturing processes -- Environmental impact assessment studies in Additive Manufacturing -- Sustainable impact evaluation of support structures in the production of extrusion based parts -- Sustainable Frugal Design using 3D Printing -- Carbon Footprint Assessment of Additive Manufacturing: Flat and Curved layer-by-layer approaches.
