Modern Manufacturing Technology

Modern Manufacturing Technology: Spotlight on Future summarizes the emergence and development of modern manufacturing techniques (MMTs) with a focus on metallic and advanced material-based additive manufacturing technologies and their potential applications. Further, it explores advanced machining techniques for production of novel nanomaterials. The book also covers modern sophisticated techniques for the fabrication of ultrafine electronic devices such as micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS), semiconductors, and optical systems. A dedicated chapter on manufacturing technology for Industry 4.0 is included.

Features:

• Describes the background of manufacturing techniques in brief including the advent of and introduction to MMTs
• Reviews various types of MMTs established in recent years and their accelerated growth and development innovation-driven applications
• Overviews the physical and chemical techniques used for nanomaterials production
• Explores the fabrication mechanisms of MEMS, NEMS, semiconductors and optical devices
• Provides a conceptual overview of additive manufacturing technologies

This book is geared to undergraduate and postgraduate students and professionals in mechanical and manufacturing engineering, and the manufacturing industry.
