Early studies of the human brain used a simple method: wait for misfortune to strike--strokes, seizures, infectious diseases, horrendous accidents--and see how victims coped. In many cases their survival was miraculous, if puzzling. Sam Kean explains the brain's secret passageways and recounts forgotten tales of the ordinary people whose struggles, resilience, and deep humanity made modern neuroscience possible.

Imagine a computer slicing a three-dimensional object into many parallel thin slices, figuring out how to print each slice one after the other, and then having a mechanism to combine each layer with those previously deposited. Parts are made with metals, ceramics, polymers, and composite materials. There are many types of additive manufacturing. The type of material printed, its size, cost competitiveness, and other part attributes all influence the choice.

PepsiCo sets the standard for how companies can envision and create their futures. Since creating PepsiCo Design and bringing on its first-ever Chief Design Officer, Mauro Porcini, in 2012, PepsiCo has emerged as a leader in design-led innovation. With more and more of the business community embracing design thinking every day, Good Design Is for Everyone is an inspiring look at how one company has done just that.

Additive Manufacturing is a method of manufacturing parts and products directly from design data, by adding layers of materials in order to obtain the final shape and size with high accuracy and negligible waste. The book covers the latest developments of hybrid and bio-inspired 3D Printing, the use of Artificial Intelligence and the applications to Industry 4.0, real-time defect detection, hybrid and bio-inspired 3D Printing.

Technology has created innovative new prospects for manufacturing industries with Industry 4.0 and has helped further the growth of the manufacturing sector. This book focuses on the next stage, Industry 5.0, and the steps needed to take automation to the next level by reducing workforce size and improving operational and process efficiency.
