Preface

Net shape manufacturing of engineered parts is essential to fulfil the requirements of high functional performance and long service life. Manufacturing to the desired size, shape, surface quality, and mechanical properties is possible with the help of precision techniques developed in the field of forming, machining, rapid prototyping, moulding, and sheet metal working. This book sheds light on near net shape manufacturing processes. It covers mechanism, salient features, and important aspects of various subtractive, additive, and forming techniques to manufacture near net-shaped products. The latest research in this area and possible future research avenues are also highlighted to encourage further research and development in this field. This book consists of eight chapters on near net shape manufacturing processes. Chapter “Towards the Manufacturing of Near Net Shape Medical Prostheses in Polymeric Sheet by Incremental Sheet Forming” describ
