3D Printing

Arthur Clarke is known to have remarked Any sufficiently advanced Technology is indistinguishable from Magic. Technology in this modern era has advanced very quickly. New innovations have caused advanced newer emerging technologies to develop. Due to ever increasing use of technology it affects us all. 3DP is one such emerging technology that has the potential to transform the manufacturing systems. Besides it can combine with other emerging technologies and affect the society at a much more deeper level. Emerging fields in technology always suffer from paucity of reference materials. This work is an attempt to redress that. It takes the reader on a quest, step by step to understand the significance of 3DP. The fact is that the use of 3DP is only limited by the human imagination and it finally leads to the conclusion that 3DP would impact the society. 3DP has far reaching applications in engineering, research, technology, medicine, geography and social sciences. Being multi-disciplinary in approach this book is also useful for anyone who seeks to know more about 3DP.
