Popular Additive Manufacturing for Polymers and Composites
摘要
This chapter focuses on a fundamental knowledge of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, which is implemented for manufacturing 3D printed parts based on polymers and composites. Seven 3D printing methods are discussed, which consist of binder jetting (BJ), directed energy deposition (DED), material jetting (MJ), powder bed fusion (PBF), sheet lamination (SL), vat photopolymerisation (VP) and fused deposition modelling (FDM). Individual 3D printers for different methods along with their specifications are also mentioned in this chapter to provide comprehensive equipment-based information.
