This book explores the integration of sustainability into the core of material selection, product design, and manufacturing processes, with a focus on additive manufacturing. It provides a comprehensive guide to operational sustainability, delving into environmentally conscious approaches that reduce waste, optimize resources, and enhance long-term operational efficiency. The scope covers the entire product lifecycle from material selection to end-of-life recycling offering insights into how emerging technologies contribute to sustainable development.

Features:
• Bridges the gap between theory and practice in sustainable material selection, product design, and additive manufacturing
• Highlights how additive manufacturing contributes to sustainability
• Describes generative design and topology optimization
• Reviews the implementation of sustainable manufacturing processes
• Explores recycle, reuse, and reproduce design approaches

This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in metallurgical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering, including materials science.
