3D and 4D metallic printing principles, practices, and real-world applicationsDesigned to be a single source of information for the metallic printing industry, this practical guide provides the technical tools necessary to bridge the performance gap between conventionally produced and printed parts. The book covers the fundamentals of 3D and 4D metallic printing and offers complete details on evaluation of mechanical, physical, and metrological performance of printed objects.Additive Manufacturing of Metals: Fundamentals and Testing of 3-and 4-D Printing starts with the basics—from the evolution of additive manufacturing to the metals and production processes used. From there, you will get complete discussions on issues related to the lack of regulation and standardization, the mechanical behavior of printed parts, defects, measurements, and quality control. Clearly explains both 3D and 4D printing of metals in industrial processes Lays out the steps to measure the performance and quality of printed metal parts Written by a recognized expert and experienced educator
