Full Description

This book explores the integration of sustainability into the core of material selection, product design, and manufacturing processes, with a focus on additive manufacturing. It provides a comprehensive guide to operational sustainability, delving into environmentally conscious approaches that reduce waste, optimise resources, and enhance long-term operational efficiency. The scope covers the entire product lifecycle, from material selection to end-of-life recycling, offering insights into how emerging technologies contribute to sustainable development.

Features:

Bridges the gap between theory and practice in sustainable material selection, product design, and additive manufacturing
Highlights how additive manufacturing contributes to sustainability
Describes generative design and topology optimisation
Reviews the implementation of sustainable manufacturing processes
Explores recycling, reuse, and reproduction design approaches

This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in metallurgical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering, including materials science.
