Reihe: Computational Product Design and Digital Manufacturing

The progress of composite materials and material science has transformed several sectors, including aviation, biomedicine, aerospace and automotive industry, medicine, and manufacturing. These advancements have opened the path for the creation of innovative hybrid materials and biomaterials that will greatly improve performance, durability, and sustainability. The introduction of 3D printing and additive manufacturing methods, notably Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has catapulted these areas to new heights. The book fills a significant vacuum in the existing literature by bringing together disparate but linked topics such as composites, material science, hybrid materials, biomaterials, tribology, machining, optimization, development innovations, synthesis of novel nanomaterials and additive manufacturing. While various publications address specific parts of these domains, this volume is a comprehensive resource that investigates their synergies of the above-mentioned areas. The book will be a useful resource for UG/PG Students, researchers, academics, and industry experts looking to comprehend and use these multidisciplinary breakthroughs to develop novel solutions.
