This book presents a comprehensive exploration of sustainable additive manufacturing, emphasizing environmentally responsible materials, processes, and applications. It integrates advances in computational design, green electrochemical fabrication, biowaste-derived feedstocks, recycling strategies, nano/micro-structured electrodes, 3D-printed water-treatment systems, and AM-enabled biosensors and medical devices. Across its chapters, the book highlights how energy-efficient methods, circular-economy principles, and innovative material systems are transforming additive manufacturing into a cleaner, greener, and more resource-efficient technology for future industrial and societal needs.
