Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing Processes

This reference text discusses fundamentals, classification, principles, applications of additive and subtractive manufacturing processes in a single volume.

The text discusses 3D printing techniques with the help of practical case studies, covers rapid tooling using microwave sintering and ultrasonic assisted sintering process, and covers different hybrid manufacturing techniques like cryo-MQL, and textured cutting inserts. It covers important topics including green manufacturing, ultrasonic assisted machining, electro thermal based non-conventional machining processes, metal based additive manufacturing, LASER based additive manufacturing, indirect rapid tooling, and polymer based additive manufacturing.

The book:

• Discusses additive and subtractive manufacturing processes in detail
• Covers hybrid manufacturing processes
• Provides life cycle analysis of conventional machining
• Discusses biomedical and industrial applications of additive manufacturing

The text will be useful for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in areas including industrial and manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, and production engineering.

Discussing the sustainability aspects of conventional machining in reducing carbon footprint of machining by adopting different hybrid and non-conventional machining processes, this text will be useful for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in areas including industrial and manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, and production engineering.
