Advances in Design, Materials and Manufacturing for Sustainability- Material Selection, Product Design and Additive Manufacturing Processes for Operational Sustainability

This book explores the integration of sustainability in the core of material selection, product design, and manufacturing processes, with focus on additive manufacturing. It provides guide to operational sustainability, delving into environmentally conscious approaches to reduce waste, optimize resources, and enhance operational efficiency. 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, optimize 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 optimization • Reviews the implementation of sustainable manufacturing processes • Explores recycle, reuse, and reproduce design approaches This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in metallurgical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering, including materials science.
