| Abstract: | We wrote this book because we have all been working in the field of AM for many years. Although none of us like to be called “old,” we do seem to have decades of experience, collectively, and have each established reputations as educators and researchers in this field. We have each seen the technologies described in this book take shape and develop into serious commercial tools, with tens of thousands of users and many millions of parts being made by AM machines each year. AM is now being incorporated into curricula in many schools, poly- technics and universities around the world. More and more students are becoming aware of these technologies and yet, as we see it, there is no single text adequate for such curricula. We hope that now, with this book, there is. |
| Description: | Although we have worked hard to make this book as comprehensive as possible, we recognize that a book about such rapidly changing technology will not be up-to-date for very long. With this in mind, and to help educators and students better utilize this book, we will update our course website at http://www. springer.com/978-1-4419-1119-3, with additional homework exercises and other aids for educators. If you have comments, questions or suggestions for improvement, they are welcome. We anticipate updating this book in the future, and we look forward to hearing how you have used these materials and how we might improve this book. As mentioned earlier, each author is an established expert in Additive Manufacturing with many years of research experience. In addition, in many ways, this book is only possible due to the many students and colleagues with whom we have collaborated over the years. To introduce you to the authors and some of the others who have made this book possible, we will end this preface with brief author biographies and acknowledgements. |
