Learning Objectives By the end of this section, students will be able to: During the early 2000s, engineers were continually inventing new AM machines and technologies. With each new development, they brought forth a new process with specific advantages and…
Figure 2.1 The Patent that ignited an industry. Chuck Hull’s patent titled, “Apparatus for production of three-dimensional objects by stereolithography” became the first commercial patent associated with a new technology known as stereolithography. Stereolithography, as a process, was the beginning of modern…
AM is akin to a family of children where each child is a different age and they are not all maturing at the same rate but eventually, they will become strong contributors to society. It is important to keep this…
Learning Objectives By the end of this section, students will be able to: There are numerous reasons that people and organizations employ AM. Typically, we refer to the Project Management Triple Constraint of Schedule, Scope (or Performance) and Cost as…
Learning Objectives By the end of this section, students will be able to: The AM Maturity Model, used throughout the book, is a way to approach marrying the product requirements to the skills and knowledge of AM. The Barnes Global…
Learning Objectives By the end of this section, students will be able to: Additive manufacturing has matured into a diverse set of technologies all of which share an adding, or layer by layer, approach. While AM can be segmented into…
Learning Objectives By the end of this section, students will be able to: Additive manufacturing is often referred to as “3D printing,” which is an important component of the domain, but does not describe the entire process. 3D Printing is…
Figure 1.1 Additive manufacturing can take place in many types of spaces, using machines of almost any size. (credit: Modification of “Maker Space Post-Finishing an Additive Manufacturing Part Made with a Formlabs Form 2 SLA 3D Printer V2” by Formlabs/Flickr, CC-BY 2.0)…
