Introduces additive manufacturing (AM), broadly known as 3D printing, is transforming how products are designed, produced, and serviced. Enables on-demand production without dedicated equipment or tooling, unlocks digital design tools, and offers breakthrough performance and unparalleled flexibility across industries. Designs for Additive Manufacturing discusses the benefits of rapid prototyping with AM and distinguish between AM for prototyping and AM for production. Develops elements of creative thinking and problem solving used in the design process, including the techniques and methods used to construct prototypes and models. Introduces modern rapid prototyping techniques and have an opportunity to conceive, design and produce a product, using rapid prototyping methods and computer-aid design techniques.
