In this book, basic sciences and applied technologies in 3D printing and 2D coating-including 2D surface modulations on 3D printed objects-are described to explore and to image novel multidimensional additive manufacturing. Renowned researchers were selected from universities and national institutes as authors by the editorial board established in the Surface Modification Research and Technology Committee of the Japan Welding Engineering Society. The main readers of this book are expected to be graduate students, professional researchers, and engineers. Here, they can acquire abundant knowledge of digital design concepts and functional evaluations, enabling them practice material selection and process parameter optimization in novel additive manufacturing.

Seventh volume of the Japanese anime series set in the year 2010, where an online role-playing game is the most popular form of entertainment, until a young man named Tsukasa becomes locked in 'The World' and can't log out. In this volume, Tsukasa is transported from the Net Slum and must face an alternate version of himself in a final battle for supremacy.
