A Practical Guide to Design for Additive Manufacturing (Springer Series in Advanced Manufacturing)

A Practical Guide to Design for Additive Manufacturing (Springer Series in Advanced Manufacturing)

This book provides a wealth of practical guidance on how to design parts to gain the maximum benefit from what additive manufacturing (AM) can offer. It begins by describing the main AM technologies and their respective advantages and disadvantages. It then examines strategic considerations in the context of designing for additive manufacturing (DfAM), such as designing to avoid anisotropy, designing to minimize print time, and post-processing, before discussing the economics of AM. The following chapters dive deeper into computational tools for design analysis and the optimization of AM parts, part consolidation, and tooling applications. They are followed by an in-depth chapter on designing for polymer AM and applicable design guidelines, and a chapter on designing for metal AM and its corresponding design guidelines. These chapters also address health and safety, certification and quality aspects. A dedicated chapter covers the multiple post-processing methods for AM, offering the reader practical guidance on how to get their parts from the AM machine into a shape that is ready to use. The book’s final chapter outlines future applications of AM. The main benefit of the book is its highly practical approach: it provides directly applicable, “hands-on” information and insights to help readers adopt AM in their industry

Additive Manufacturing Change Management: Best Practices (Continuous Improvement Series)

Additive Manufacturing Change Management: Best Practices (Continuous Improvement Series)

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has altered manufacturing as we know it, with shortened development time, increased performance, and reduced product costs. Executive management in industry are bombarded by marketing from their competitors showcasing design solutions leveraged through AM. Therefore, executive management ask their project management teams to figure out how to utilize AM within their own company. Clueless on how to approach the problem, managers start learning about AM from experts and become overwhelmed at the highly technical information. Unlike other AM books that focus on the technical output of AM technology, this new book focuses solely on the managerial implementation. Features Presents the impacts of AM technology Provides engaging, practical, and entertaining "war stories" from the front line of AM industrialization Describes in detail, the significant hurdles in AM certification and implementation Offers templates of proven change management best practices, as practical solutions Omits the technical verbiage that gets in the way of management understanding how the process is implemented
