Synopsis

This book offers a structured and insightful journey into the evolving domain of metal additive manufacturing (AM), emphasizing both foundational knowledge and applied research. Starting from the fundamentals of 3D and 4D printing and smart materials, it moves through the core principles of Metal AM, design for AM, and Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process optimization. It delves into mechanical testing, statistical process design using Taguchi and ANOVA, and explores the synergy between simulation and experimental validation for as-built and post-heated components. A dedicated focus is given to tribological wear analysis, material performance under varied thermal conditions, and the role of environmental factors like cryogenic treatment, aging, and heat post-processing. Finally, it concludes with modern strategies in reverse engineering and topology optimization, making it highly relevant for aerospace, biomedical, and high-performance sectors. The book serves as a valuable reference for researchers, postgraduate students, and industry practitioners in mechanical, materials, and manufacturing domains.
