Multi-dimensional Additive Manufacturing

In this book, basic sciences and applied technologies in 3D printing and 2D coatingincluding 2D surface modulations on 3D printed objectsare described to explore and to image novel multidimensional additive manufacturing. Renowned researchers were selected from universities and national institutes as authors by the editorial board established in the Surface Modification Research and Technology Committee of the Japan Welding Engineering Society. The main readers of this book are expected to be graduate students, professional researchers, and engineers. Here, they can acquire abundant knowledge of digital design concepts and functional evaluations, enabling them practice material selection and process parameter optimization in novel additive manufacturing.

Explains the conjunction of materials and functional design in emerging 3D printing technology Presents industrial equipment and operation principles of conventional 2D coating Describes the technical fusion of 2D and 3D processes in multidimensional additive manufacturing

Autorentext

Soshu Kirihara is a Professor of Joining and Welding Research Institute (JWRI), Osaka University, Japan. In his main investigation "Materials Tectonics", geometric structures were successfully fabricated to modulate energy and materials flows effectively. Original stereolithography systems were developed, and a start-up company was established through academic-industrial collaboration. Kazuhiro Nakata is a Professor Emeritus of Joining and Welding Research Institute (JWRI), Osaka University, Japan. He has innovated practical welding using arc and laser hybrid processes to realize dissimilar materials joining through interface modulations between base steel and light alloys or plastic composites. Effective surface modifications of stainless steels have been developed successfully by applying friction stirring, thermal spray, and reaction diffusion technologies.
