Additive Manufacturing : Changing the Rules of Manufacturing

  • Reference work entry
Handbook of Materials Structures, Properties, Processing and Performance

Abstract

Aspects of 3D printing and additive or layer manufacturing can be treated as modular manufacturing or modular components of manufacturing in the contemporary sense. Such modular manufacturing involves specialized product design and fabrication or product customization. These processes incorporate new materials along with new design strategies to achieve new performance features.
