この電子書籍について

3D Printing Airframes explores how additive manufacturing is poised to revolutionize aerospace design and production. The book argues that 3D printing allows for lighter, stronger, and more sustainable airframes than traditional methods. Readers will discover how material innovation and unprecedented design freedom, including topology optimization, are key to this transformation. One intriguing aspect is the potential to create complex geometries and internal lattice structures, enhancing structural integrity while minimizing weight.

The book progresses logically, beginning with an overview of relevant 3D printing technologies like powder bed fusion. It then delves into material science, design optimization, and the durability of 3D-printed components, supported by data from research and industry. A significant portion of the analysis is devoted to understanding how multi-material printing can tailor performance characteristics, leading to reduced fuel consumption and improved flight performance.

This book uniquely focuses on airframe construction, demonstrating how 3D printing connects materials science, design engineering, and sustainability. It offers a fact-based exploration of the current state and future potential of additive manufacturing in the aerospace industry, making it a valuable resource for aerospace engineers, materials scientists, and anyone interested in the cutting edge of aerospace manufacturing.
