Additive Manufacturing of Shape Memory Materials

Capture the future of smart-material fabrication with Additive Manufacturing of Shape Memory Materials, a definitive guide by Mehrshad Mehrpouya and Mohammad Elahinia. This book opens with a compelling overview of how 3D printing is unlocking new possibilities for shape memory alloys (SMAs) and shape memory polymers (SMPs), immediately showing why engineers, researchers, and product designers worldwide are watching this field.

Dive deeper into the essentials—material behavior, processing-structure-property relationships, and the subtle influence of printing parameters on actuation, fatigue life, and recovery performance. The authors balance rigorous science with practical insight, explaining characterization techniques, design-for-manufacture strategies, and optimization methods that bridge lab research and commercial application.

Imagine rapid prototyping of self-deploying aerospace components, personalized biomedical stents and prosthetics, or adaptive robotics that respond to temperature and stress. This book highlights real-world applications across medical, automotive, aerospace, and consumer-device sectors, demonstrating how additive manufacturing enables complex geometries, graded properties, and localized functionality previously impossible with conventional methods.

Whether you’re a graduate student, R&D engineer, or product manager, you’ll gain actionable knowledge—from selecting appropriate SMAs and SMPs to tuning process parameters for predictable shape recovery. Clear diagrams, case studies, and design guidelines make advanced concepts accessible without sacrificing depth.

For professionals in North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond looking to lead in smart-materials innovation, this volume is a practical, research-informed resource.
