- W2740018846 abstract "The relationship between additive manufacturing (AM) technologies and the pursuit of sustainability is an important and rapidly evolving research agenda. The two books reviewed here offer different vantage points from which to view this area. First, the Handbook of Sustainability in Additive Manufacturing (volumes 1 and 2) contains important studies that show the validity of applying sustainability thinking and methodologies to three-dimensional (3D) printing products and processes. The most common themes are product design for sustainability, related to materials and energy savings. For instance, in volume 1 Diegel and colleagues provide a comprehensive review of the potential impacts of AM on sustainable design, and Tang and colleagues discuss the particular impact of functionality integration and part consolidation from a sustainable design perspective. Also related to product design and energy and materials savings, volume 2 includes Gibson and Shukla's discussion of frugal product design with 3D printing, as well as Almeida and Oliveira's introduction of biomimetic design principles for 3D printed objects. The latter provides a rich engagement with the science of cellular structures and a more precise treatment of design complexity enabled by AM. Another main theme is the energy and materials efficiency of AM processes. Chapters engaging in this theme mainly focus on highly specific technological processes and parameters. In volume 1, Almeida and Correia conduct an impact evaluation in terms of material and energy efficiency of support structures for AM parts. Also in volume 1, Garg and colleagues analyze the energy consumption of selective laser sintering, while in volume 2, Salonitis studies the energy efficiency of metal powder bed processes, and Muthu and Mahesh compare flat and curved layer processes in terms of their carbon footprint. In volume 2, Kerbrat and colleagues provide a more general treatment of AM production process sustainability with an overview of environmental assessment of AM processes in terms of energy and materials and introduce a new practical methodology. Less represented in the two-volume book is the social dimension of sustainability and a systems view of the AM manufacturing landscape. The exceptions are Loy and colleagues’ chapter (volume 1) on the positive impact that 3D printing could have on sociocultural sustainability, and Loy and Tatham's chapter (volume 1) on redesigning production systems based on the new logic of 3D printing processes. Viewed as a whole, The Handbook of Sustainability in Additive Manufacturing provides interesting examples of the many ways AM and sustainability goals relate. However, there are two main gaps that can be identified. First, there is no overall analysis of the relationship between AM and sustainability. This would allow the reader to orient him- or herself and better contextualize the chapters that are included in the book. Second, there is a striking lack of analysis on the types of materials being used in AM processes and their associated environmental impacts. This is particularly important when many new AM processes are being developed to use new polymers and composites, as well as to include multimaterial capabilities. The environmental implications of materials choice and mixing have large implications for waste separation, recycling, and degradability. The second book, 3D Printing Will Rock the World, provides a readable, sweeping view of the 3D printing landscape (3D printing being used here as a synonym for AM). This includes a comprehensive list of high-profile topics associated with the technology, such as the maker movement, copyright issues, nature-inspired design, and redistributed manufacturing. A well-explained introduction to the many different AM processes is included. The book is also filled with references to current companies and the latest innovations, offering the reader many avenues for future research and learning. There is, however, a lack of analytical precision when it comes to assessing the changes associated with 3D printing in the manufacturing landscape. While Hornick mentions often that experts disagree on the direction and nature of changes taking place, it is rare that he cites the reasons why or discusses the conditions that would underpin one future scenario taking precedence over another. Overall, it is a high-speed tour of 3D printing technology that signposts the many ways the technology is evolving and the many implications that may flow from its adoption and use. It is left up to the reader to investigate the companies and innovations mentioned and more carefully evaluate their current importance and future value. To reflect on both works, 3D Printing Will Rock the World by John Hornick provides a general overview of changes that AM brings to modes of fabrication, cultures of making, and systems of production. These changes present critical points of reference for considering more specific questions of sustainability in an evolving technological landscape. The Handbook of Sustainability in Additive Manufacturing provides this more specific engagement, offering a selection of detailed contributions that can guide an emerging research agenda." @default.
