Additive Manufacturing of Thin-Walled Structures

This comprehensive book examines the manufacturing of thin-walled structures using diverse Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes. It emphasizes fundamental principles alongside cutting-edge developments in additive manufacturing, covering materials ranging from non-metallic to metallic thin-wall applications. The book provides complete coverage from pre-processing through post-processing stages, explores both traditional and machine learning-based characterization techniques for thin-walled structures, and presents real-world case studies demonstrating various engineering applications of thin-walled designs.
