Summary
Additive Manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, has revolutionized the way products are designed, optimized, and manufactured. By enabling layer-by-layer fabrication of complex geometries, AM allows for design freedom, customization, and material efficiency. This technology spans across multiple sectors, and offering solutions for rapid prototyping, tooling, and end-use part production. As the field continues to evolve, integrating advancements in materials science, computational design, and process control, optimizing these technologies becomes crucial for enhancing performance, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. This special issue explores the design strategies, optimization techniques, and diverse applications of AM technologies, highlighting their transformative potential in modern manufacturing. From topology optimization to material selection, the goal is to provide insights into how AM can be effectively leveraged to address complex engineering challenges, push the boundaries of innovation, and contribute to Industry 4.0 initiatives.
This special issue welcomes original research articles and review articles. Research areas include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
• Design strategies for AM/ Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM)
• Design of new additive manufacturing technologies
• Multiscale Lattice Design
• Topology optimization for AM
• Process optimisation for AM
