TL;DR: In this article, the authors map available additive manufacturing methods based on their process mechanisms, review modelling approaches based on modelling methods and identify research gaps and implications for closed-loop control of the process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide some fundamental methods and tools which are useful in addressing design and operational issues in manufacturing systems, which are intended as an advanced undergraduate/graduate text for students taking courses in manufacturing and manufacturing systems.

TL;DR: The research and development of augmented reality (AR) applications in design and manufacturing is reviewed in this paper, which consists of seven main sections: the background of manufacturing simulation applications and the initial AR developments, current hardware and software tools associated with AR.

TL;DR: A review of the state of the art research in the areas of assembly system design, planning and operations in the presence of product variety is presented in this article, where methods for assembly representation, sequence generation and assembly line balancing are reviewed and summarized.

TL;DR: In this article, emerging technologies in the automotive assembly are discussed, along with techniques used in the vehicle assembly plants, and concepts integrating various new technologies into supporting both automated and human-based assembly operations are presented and discussed versus this identified inability for mass customization.
