Additive Manufacturing: Artificial Intelligence and Optimization - Vijaykumar S Jatti

Additive manufacturing has transformed industries by enabling complex designs, rapid prototyping, and customization. Advances in techniques such as SLS, FDM, and SLA, along with progress in materials science, have improved precision and performance. However, challenges in quality control—particularly interlayer bonding, porosity, and surface finish—persist. Efforts by organizations like ASTM International aim to establish standardization. Material selection remains critical, and scalability continues to limit widespread industrial adoption.

Despite these challenges, additive manufacturing holds strong potential for large-scale applications. This book explores these issues and emerging solutions to advance the field.
