Multidisciplinary, up-to-date reference on 3D printing from A to Z, including material selection, in-process monitoring, process optimization, and Machine Learning.

Industrial Strategies and Solutions for 3D Printing: Applications and Optimization offers a comprehensive overview of the 3D printing process, covering relevant materials, control factors, cutting-edge concepts, and applications across various industries such as architecture, engineering, medical, jewelry, footwear, and industrial design. While many published books and review papers have explored various aspects of 3D printing, they often approach the topic from a specific perspective. This book instead views 3D printing as a multidisciplinary field, extending beyond its rapid growth into emerging areas like Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.

In the ever-evolving landscape of manufacturing and innovation, 3D printing has emerged as a beacon of possibility. Its ability to turn digital designs into tangible objects has revolutionized industries from aerospace and automotive to healthcare and fashion. Yet, amid the awe-inspiring potential of this technology, a complex tapestry of challenges has woven itself into the fabric of 3D printing’s journey. As we embark on a comprehensive exploration of this remarkable realm, this book seeks to unravel the intricacies of these challenges and illuminate a solution-driven path forward. At the heart of this narrative lies a pivotal concept: multi-physics optimization. As the foundation upon which the future of 3D printing is built, the importance of multi-physics optimization cannot be overstated. This book presents the world of 3D printing, dissecting its various facets and intricacies, while emphasizing the crucial role that optimization plays. Through a prism of multidisciplinary perspectives, we will explore the labyrinthine world of material properties, structural integrity, printing speed, and cost-effectiveness.

In this book, efforts have been made to navigate the nuances of characterization and optimization, uncovering the interplay of variables that define the 3D printing process. From the composition of materials to the geometry of design, every decision reverberates through the layers of this additive manufacturing journey. The book has been conceived and written to encompass all aspects of the 3D printing process – from its applications and challenges to the importance of process optimization – and is thus divided into two separate parts. The book has been conceived and written to encompass all aspects within the scope of process optimization. It consists of fourteen chapters, each focusing on core research areas grounded in current understanding and evidence. The contributions to these chapters come from key opinion leaders and international experts in the field of 3D printing, as well as industrial researchers, making this book a truly interdisciplinary collaboration. The upcoming chapters will immerse readers in strategies and techniques that illuminate the path to excellence. The book expresses the importance of multi-physics optimization, where the pursuit of a single ideal gives way to the quest for harmony among conflicting objectives. Through this lens, we will bridge the gap between theory and practice, translating academic insights into real-world applications. From intricate mathematical models to practical case studies, this book serves as a roadmap for practitioners, researchers, and enthusiasts alike.
