Plastics for Additive Manufacturing - by Andreas Fischer & Dirk Achten & Martin Launhardt (Hardcover)

Product Description

Book Synopsis This practical book is aimed at companies that want to integrate thermoplastic-based 3D printing into their manufacturing processes and need to build up know-how in the selection of suitable plastics. It presents the thermoplastics relevant for additive manufacturing and their process-specific features as well as a wide range of applications. The book covers the following topics: - Functional principle and build-up strategy of thermoplastic-based additive manufacturing processes, in particular fused layer modeling (FLM) and selective laser sintering (SLS) - Classification and formulation of thermoplastic polymer materials - Mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of therm…
