  • About the Editor
    • Outlines each step-from CAD model preparation to part finishing-to guide readers through the end-to-end workflow.
    • Highlights key process parameters (layer thickness, build orientation, energy input) that influence part quality and accuracy.
    • Provides best practices for post-processing techniques to enhance mechanical performance and surface finish.

Frederic Moreau is a pioneer in additive manufacturing (AM) process development, with over 15 years of experience in 3D printing technologies. He completed his doctorate on powder-bed fusion dynamics, examining layer adhesion and thermal gradients. Frederic has overseen the scale-up of AM processes from prototyping to production for automotive and aerospace clients. He has authored foundational textbooks on AM principles and serves on ISO committees for standardizing process parameters. Frederic also leads workshops on design for additive manufacturing, emphasizing build orientation and support structure optimization. His current initiatives explore in-situ monitoring techniques to ensure part consistency.
