Study Notes

Additive Manufacturing: 2nd Edition Preface Summary

The 2nd edition of the book on Additive Manufacturing (AM) is aimed at students, educators, and researchers, offering depth for undergraduate and graduate-level courses.
The book includes exercise questions for readers and a companion instructor's guide, and it is useful for researchers to understand the state of the art and opportunities for further research.
The 2nd edition includes new sections and chapters, an extended chapter on medical applications, a new chapter on rapid tooling, and discussions on recent movements in the low-cost AM sector.
Technological innovations, including the new Additive Manufacturing File Format and standardization of AM with ASTM and ISO, are covered in the 2nd edition.
The text has been updated to conform to terminology developed by the ASTM F42 committee, adopted as an ISO international standard, and references to company-specific technologies have been reduced.
The original chapter on printing processes has been split into two chapters on material jetting and binder jetting to reflect standard terminology and the evolution of these processes in different directions.
The 2nd edition is significantly more comprehensive than the first one, with the removal of company-specific references and a focus on technological principles and general understanding.
The authors recognize that the rapidly changing technology may render the book outdated and offer additional homework exercises and aids for educators on the course website.
The authors are established experts in Additive Manufacturing with many years of research experience, and the book is made possible by the collaboration with students and colleagues.
Dr. Brent Stucker, one of the authors, acknowledges the support from various institutions and individuals, including Utah State, VTT Technical Research Center of Finland, and the University of Louisville, as well as graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
Dr. Stucker's wife and children are also acknowledged for their patience and support during the creation of the book.
The preface ends with brief author biographies and acknowledgments, providing context for the authors' expertise and the collaborative efforts that contributed to the book.
