| dc.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. | en_US |
| dc.description.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. | en_US |
