Additive Manufacturing: Challenges and Opportunities for Structural Mechanics

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
50+ Years of AIMETA

Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an innovative manufacturing technology which has known over the recent years a widespread adoption among many key industrial sectors. However, the potentiality of such a technology is nowadays far away to be fully exploited in industries, making AM still a very active and multidisciplinary field of research which includes material science, metrology, computational mechanics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and many other disciplines. In the present contribution, we overview recent progresses on AM research, with a special focus on the work carried out in the last decade by CompMech (Computational Mechanics and Advanced Materials team) at the University of Pavia.

Stefania Marconi and Massimo Carraturo equally contributed to this chapter.
