Additive Manufacturing: A Tool for Industrial Revolution 4.0 explores the latest developments, underlying mechanisms, challenges and opportunities for 3D printing in a digital manufacturing environment. It uses an international panel of experts to explain how additive manufacturing processes have been successfully integrated with industry 4.0 technologies for increased technical capabilities, efficiency, flexibility and sustainability. The full manufacturing product cycle is addressed, including design, materials, mechanical properties, and measurement. Future directions for this important technological intersection are also explored. This book will interest researchers and industrial professionals in industrial engineering, digital manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, data science applications, and computer engineering.
