Summary:

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a relatively new manufacturing technique that has gained significant industrial interest. With a view to select the best alloys for a given application, and to identify the compositional and property gaps of existing materials, this book presents a review of AM powder alloys, the technologies to produce and process them, and the design methodologies to conceive new formulations. The requirement to make powder AM technology sustainable are reviewed.
