Description
Digital Light Processing and Stereolithography Additive Manufacturing: Fundamentals, Applications, and Trends overviews these cutting-edge 3D-printing techniques, the materials they can produce, and applications for these techniques and materials. Sections cover the fundamentals, with chapters discussing the core principles of vat photopolymerization, related technological requirements, the characteristics of digital light processing (DLP) and stereolithography (SL) compared to other light-induced methods, as well as the chemistry and materials used, including how to formulate a resin. Section two covers applications, such as design for structural applications, as well as DLP and SL use in dentistry, soft robotics, sensors, biomedicine, microfluidics, catalysis and chemical engineering, and more.
The book concludes with a section discussing current trends and future directions for the technology, with chapters analyzing sustainable materials, including efforts to substitute synthetic materials with bio-based ones, vitrimers, controlled polymers, and 4D printing and DLP and SL in hybrid AM.

Schweitzer Classification
Person
Dr. Ignazio Roppolo is Assistant Professor in Experimental Physics of Matter at Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy. Dr. Roppolo is leader of a laboratory specifically focused on light-induced 3D printing. He has published more than 90 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, with more than 2700 citations, among which more than 40 papers specifically focused on light induced 3D printing and DLP. After achieving a PhD in Material Science and technology in 2012, he moved to Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), and since 2015 his research aimed at exploring novel fabrication routes through a materials science-based approach to 3D printing, merging chemical, physical and design characteristics to obtain synergistic proper. When he moved to Politecnico, in 2017, he started to apply the know-how developed in light induced 3D printing in different applications filed such as biomedical, sensor, chemical engineering and new and sustainable materials.
