Additive manufacturing is a transformative approach to industrial production that enables the creation of lighter, stronger parts and systems. It is yet another technological advancement made possible by the transition from analog to digital processes. In recent decades, communications, imaging, architecture and engineering have all undergone their own digital revolutions. Now, AM can bring digital flexibility and efficiency to manufacturing operations.

In the present book, fifteen typical literatures about additive manufacturing published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on fused deposition modeling, design for manufacturing, design for additive manufacturing, 3D printing, etc. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in additive manufacturing as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
