Materials for Additive Manufacturing

Good materials are crucial for effective AM, and different processes require these materials to be prepared in different ways. Some AM processes are capable of processing a wider range of materials than others. In this chapter we look at metals, ceramics,

Preface

Thank you for taking the time to read this textbook on Additive Manufacturing (AM). We hope you benefit from the time and effort it has taken putting it together and that you think it was a worthwhile undertaking. It all started as a discussion at a conference in Portugal when we realized we were putting together books with similar aims and objectives. Since we are friends as well as colleagues, it seemed sensible we join forces rather than compete; sharing the load and playing to each other’s strengths undoubtedly means a better all-round effort and result. We wrote this textbook 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 around 85 years of experience, collectively, and have each established reputations as educators and researchers in this field. We have each seen the technologies described in this textbook take shape and develop into serious commercial tools, with hundreds of thousands of reg
