In this book, basic sciences and applied technologies in 3D printing and 2D coating--including 2D surface modulations on 3D printed objects--are described to explore and to image novel multidimensional additive manufacturing. Renowned researchers were selected from universities …
This edited volume reviews the current state of the art in the additive manufacturing of optical componentry, exploring key principles, materials, processes and applications. A short introduction lets readers familiarize themselves with the fundamental principles of the 3D print…
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an innovative manufacturing process which offers near-net shape fabrication of complex components, directly from CAD models, without dies or substantial machining, resulting in a reduction in lead-time, waste, and cost. For example, the buy-to-fly …
Previous work has shown the potential to improve sprinting performance through adaptations to the bending stiffness of sprint shoes. In addition, it has been suggested that the bending stiffness need customising to the individual to achieve maximal performance. However, ambiguou…
Additive manufacturing (AM) offers a way to manufacture highly complex designs with potentially enhanced performance as it is free from many of the constraints associated with traditional manufacturing. However, current design and optimisation tools, which were developed much ea…
Additive Manufacturing (AM) refers to the use of a group of technologies capable of combining material layer-by-layer to manufacture geometrically complex products in a single digitally controlled process step, entirely without moulds, dies or other tooling. AM is a parallel man…
This research introduces a method to aid the design of products or parts to be made using Additive Manufacturing (AM), particularly the laser sintering (LS) system. The research began with a literature review that encompassed the subjects of design and AM and through this the ne…
Additive manufacturing technologies are enabling newfound degrees of geometrical complexity to be realised, particularly with regards to internal structures. All of these manufacturing technologies are dependant on their prior design in an appropriate electronic form, either by …

Additively manufacturing metal parts through laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is of growing interest to many welds, ranging from medical to aerospace. Typical LPBF systems use a single laser to weld the metal powder, which leads to sharp temperature gradients as metal rapidly melt…
Titanium and its associated alloys have been used in industry for over 50 years and have become more popular in the recent decades. Titanium has been most successful in areas where the high strength to weight ratio provides an advantage over aluminum and steels. Other advantages…
