About this ebook

Additive Manufacturing of Biopolymers: Materials, Printing Techniques, and Applications describes various biopolymers that are currently used in additive manufacturing technologies and identifies the challenges/limitations in the materials and printing processes. The book provides basic knowledge and advanced details about 3D printing techniques and the applicable biopolymers as well as the latest updates on materials and techniques for 3D printing of biopolymers. Each chapter dedicates a section to future trends and perspectives in additive manufacturing of biopolymers from the use of biopolymers and new techniques point-of-view. - Provides an overview of biopolymer materials in terms of physicochemical properties that can be applied for the additive manufacturing process - Gives a comprehensive overview of applicable 3D printing techniques for biopolymers and their benefits and challenges - Explains in-depth chemical and physical properties of fabricated products for various applications - Offers a future vision in the development of both material and printing techniques in regard to biopolymers as well as new aspects in modeling and artificial intelligence issues
