3D printing processes have promising advantages over conventional manufacturing processes from a functional ability viewpoint. In the past 30 years, a variety of additive manufacturing-based 3D printing processes have been reported for the fabrication of functional prototypes, using materials such as thermoplastic, resins, metal and their alloys. While there is a significant amount of information on various 3D printing processes, and materials that may be used in 3D printing-based manufacturing practices for engineering applications, there is far less information on 3D printable materials for structural and non-structural engineering applications. Engineering Materials for 3D Printing fills this gap. The book includes three sections and provides an insight on the development and characterization of polymer-based 3D printed materials by different processes such as extrusion, sol-gel, and pulverization along with meta-structure properties for various structural applications
