Additive manufacturing has matured from rapid prototyping through
the now popular and "maker"-oriented 3D printing, recently
commercialized and marketed. The terms describing this technology
have changed over time, from "rapid prototyping" to "rapid
manufacturing" to "additive manufacturing," which reflects
largely a focus on technology.

This book discusses the uptake, use, and impact of the additive
manufacturing and digital fabrication technology. It augments
technical and business-oriented trends with those in product
design and design studies. It includes a mix of disciplinary and
transdisciplinary trends and is rich in case and design material.
The chapters cover a range of design-centered views on additive
manufacturing that are rarely addressed in the main conferences
and publications, which are still mostly, and importantly,
concerned with tools, technologies, and technical development.
The chapters also reflect dialogues about transdisciplinarity and
the inclusion of domains such as business and aesthetics,
narrative, and technology critique. This is a great textbook for
graduate students of design, engineering, computer science,
marketing, and technology and also for those who are not students
but are curious about and interested in what 3D printing really
can be used for in the near future.
