Last, but definitely not least, we would like to thank all of the individuals who have taken time out and helped us during the process of editing this book. Without their support and encouragement, we would have probably given up the project.

Additive Manufacturing: Technology, Materials and Applications in Aerospace
Additive manufacturing (AM), predominantly known as 3D printing, is transmuting product design, production and service. AM assists us in achieving on-demand production without dedicated apparatus or tooling, unlocks digital design tools, and leads to breakthrough performance and supreme flexibility in industries. Knowledge acts as a barrier to this technique since the selection process for various materials and their applications and requirements differ from each individualized processes. The aerospace industry is the primary user of AM, as it enables it to create complex user-defined part design and fabricate with different materials without wastage of raw materials, reducing the time and cost of production.
