With the trends of Industry 4.0 spanning physical and virtual worlds, Additive Manufacturing
(AM) has been the mainstream for realizing complex geometries designed in computers …

By additive manufacturing technologies, an object is produced deposing material layer by
layer. The piece grows along the build direction, which is one of the main manufacturing …

With most Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology variants, build processes take place
inside an internal enclosed build container, referred to as a 'build volume'. It has been …

Abstract Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing process capable of
producing mixed batches of parts simultaneously within a single build. The build orientation …

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, has been highlighted as a
complementary method to the traditional (subtractive and formative) manufacturing. This …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a disruptive production technology that challenges many well-
established, conventional practices in Operations and Supply Chain Management …

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are a tool used to solve high-complexity computational problems.
Apart from modelling the phenomena occurring in Nature, they help in optimization …

Build orientation is an important fabrication parameter in layer manufacturing (LM) since it
affects the part fabrication accuracy, cost, and time. Despite its importance, orientation …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging type of production technology to create three-
dimensional objects layer-by-layer directly from a 3D CAD model. AM is being extensively …
