Engineering Materials for 3D Printing: Synthesis, Functionalization to Applications

By Nishant Ranjan PhD, Vinay Kumar PhD, Rupinder Singh PhD

Engineering Materials for 3D Printing: Synthesis, Functionalization to Applications delves into the transformative world of additive manufacturing, covering the development and characterization of polymer-based materials crafted through processes such as extrusion, sol-gel, and pulverization. Over the past three decades, 3D printing has revolutionized the creation of functional prototypes, utilizing an array of materials like thermoplastics, resins, metals, and alloys. This book explores the advantages of 3D printing over conventional manufacturing, emphasizing its potential for structural and non-structural engineering applications. It stands out for its focus on meta-structure properties, offering insights into the fabrication of engineering prototypes.

While existing literature extensively covers manufacturing processes, this work bridges the gap by exploring 3D printable materials for diverse engineering uses.
