This book covers 3D printing activities by fused deposition modeling process. The two introductory chapters discuss the principle, types of machines and raw materials, process parameters, defects, design variations and simulation methods. Six chapters are devoted to experimental work related to process improvement, mechanical testing and characterization of the process, followed by three chapters on post-processing of 3D printed components and two chapters addressing sustainability concerns. Seven chapters discuss various applications including composites, external medical devices, drug delivery system, orthotic inserts, watertight components and 4D printing using FDM process. Finally, six chapters are dedicated to the study on modeling and optimization of FDM process using computational models, evolutionary algorithms, machine learning, metaheuristic approaches and optimization of layout and tool path.
This book presents the latest advances in manufacturing from both the experimental and simulation point of view. It covers most aspects of manufacturing engineering, i.e. theoretical, analytical, computational and experimental studies. Experimental studies on manufacturing processes require funds, time and expensive facilities, while numerical simulations and mathematical models can improve the efficiency of using the research results. It also provides high level of prediction accuracy and the basis for novel research directions.
Digitalization concepts and methods have, in recent times, drawn the interest of researchers and academics, especially in design and manufacturing. Modern product design integrates advanced CAD/CAE/CAPP/CAM/PLM and computational tools as a means to automate tasks and increase the quality of the designed product, while reducing manufacturing cost and the time-to-market. The same is true that in the era of artificial intelligence, digital manufacturing is a fast-expanding focus of research that includes not only pure manufacturing topics but also additive manufacturing, reverse engineering, simulations of material properties for strength, manufacturability, and optimization of manufacturing processes. The book aims to cover digital tools and methods that offer additional advantages for designing and manufacturing products in a variety of industries. Furthermore, the book reviews green digital design and green digital manufacturing in the context of a circular economy.
