Digitalization concepts and methods have, in recent times, drawn the interest of researchers and academics, especially in design and manufacturing. Modern product design integrates advanced CAD/CAE/CAPP/CAM/PLM and computational tools as a means to automate tasks and increase the quality of the designed product, while reducing manufacturing cost and the time-to-market. The same is true that in the era of artificial intelligence, digital manufacturing is a fast-expanding focus of research that includes not only pure manufacturing topics but also additive manufacturing, reverse engineering, simulations of material properties for strength, manufacturability, and optimization of manufacturing processes.The book aims to cover digital tools and methods that offer additional advantages for designing and manufacturing products in a variety of industries. Furthermore, the book reviews green digital design and green digital manufacturing in the context of a circular economy.

The progress of composite materials and material science has transformed several sectors, including aviation, biomedicine, aerospace and automotive industry, medicine, and manufacturing. These advancements have opened the path for the creation of innovative hybrid materials and biomaterials that will greatly improve performance, durability, and sustainability. The introduction of 3D printing and additive manufacturing methods, notably Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has catapulted these areas to new heights. The book fills a significant vacuum in the existing literature by bringing together disparate but linked topics such as composites, material science, hybrid materials, biomaterials, tribology, machining, optimization, development innovations, synthesis of novel nanomaterials and additive manufacturing. While various publications address specific parts of these domains, this volume is a comprehensive resource that investigates their synergies of the above-mentioned areas. The book will be a useful resource for UG/PG Students, researchers, academics, and industry experts looking to comprehend and use these multidisciplinary breakthroughs to develop novel solutions.

This book showcases advances in composite materials, hybrid systems, and additive manufacturing, connecting scientific principles with practical industrial applications. Authored by specialists from both academia and industry, it merges foundational knowledge with practical insights. The text commences with the development of metal matrix composites and progresses to advances in additive manufacturing within the framework of industry 5.0. The discussion extends to chemical treatments of natural fibers and next-generation polymer nanocomposites aimed at achieving tribological excellence, with a focus on both performance and sustainability. It further investigates sophisticated materials for hydrogen storage utilizing hybrid materials followed by magneto-electric nanocomposites for precise drug delivery, and the effects of CdSe and ZnSe nanoparticles on P3HT, where photothermal deflection spectroscopy reveals pathways for solar cells and optoelectronic devices. Applied dimensions include performance evaluations of disc brake materials (using SolidWorks and ANSYS), innovative coatings, and environmentally friendly mono and hybrid nanoparticle cutting fluids in minimum quantity lubrication for sustainable machining. The text also delves into composite strategies for managing solar PV waste and reinforced UHMWPE for wear-resistant biomedical joint applications. By integrating perspectives from materials, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and environmental considerations, this volume provides a thorough overview of sustainable technological progress.
