Additive Manufacturing Hybrid Processes for Composites SystemsAuthor(s): Antnio Torres Marques, Slvia Esteves, Joo P. T. Pereira, Luis Miguel Oliveira\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\nISBN-13: 9783030445249, 978-3030445249\nSynopsis\nThis book focuses on the emerging additive manufacturing technology and its applications beyond state-of-the-art, fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. It also discusses the development of a hybrid, integrated process that combines additive and subtractive operations in a single-step platform, allowing CAD-to-Part production with freeform shapes using long or continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. The book covers the entire value chain of this next-generation technology, from part design and materials composition to transformation stages, product evaluation, and end-of-life studies. \n\nMoreover, it addresses the following engineering issues: \n\n Design rules for hybrid .
