BioInspired! So What? Now What!

Brook Kennedy contributed to chapter 5 on “Biofabrication and Bio-Inspired Manufacturing Techniques for the Built Environment” and Jacquelyn Nagel contributed to chapter 18 on “Sustainable Manufacturing”.

I am pleased to let you know that my 10th book has been published by CRC Press.  This edited and coauthored book is entitled “Advances in manufacturing and processing of materials and structures” and it contains 544 pages.  The book covers the latest advances in manufacturing and processing including additive and subtractive processes and it is intended to provide a compiled resource that reviews details of the advances.  3D printing is a key development that has been incorporated into this book covering its use to produce complex parts including composites with odd shape fibers as well as tissue and body organs.
