Laser Additive Manufacturing: Materials, Design, Technologies, and Applications

Laser Additive Manufacturing: Materials, Design, Technologies, and Applications provides the latest information on this highly efficient method of layer-based manufacturing using metals, plastics, or composite materials. The technology is particularly suitable for the production of complex components with high precision for a range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and medical engineering. This book provides a comprehensive review of the technology and its range of applications. Part One looks at materials suitable for laser AM processes, with Part Two discussing design strategies for AM. Parts Three and Four review the most widely-used AM technique, powder bed fusion (PBF) and discuss other AM techniques, such as directed energy deposition, sheet lamination, jetting techniques, extrusion techniques, and vat photopolymerization. The final section explores the range of applications of laser AM. Provides a comprehensive one-volume overview of advances in laser additive manufacturingPresents detailed coverage of the latest techniques used for laser additive manufacturingReviews both established and emerging areas of application INDICE: Chapter 1: Introduction: The role of lasers in additive manufacturing Chapter 2: Laser Additive Manufacturing of ceramic components: materials, processes, and mechanisms Chapter 3: Design for Laser Additive Manufacturing Chapter 4: Topology optimization for Laser Additive Manufacturing Design Chapter 5: Modelling of laser additive manufactured product life cycle costs Chapter 6: Powder Bed Fusion Processes: An Overview Chapter 7: Powder Bed Fusion of Polymers Chapter 8: Laser-aided direct metal deposition of metals and alloys Chapter 9: Laser Additive Manufacturing of polymer nanocomposites Chapter 10: Laser Additive manufacturing using nanofabrication by integrated two-photon polymerization and multiphoton ablation Chapter 11: Laser additive manufacturing of embedded electronics Chapter 12: Aerospace Applications of Laser Additive Manufacturing Chapter 13: Laser Sintering of Ceramic Materials for Aero/Astro Applications Chapter 14: Laser Additive Manufacturing of Customised Prosthetics and Implants for Biomedical Applications Chapter 15: Laser Additive Printing of Cells Chapter 16: Additively Manufactured dies/tools in metal forming Chapter 17: Hybrid Laser Manufacture Chapter 18: Lattice Structures
