Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Additive manufacturing technique selection for nanofabrication using integrated multi-criteria decision making model   Order a copy of this article
    by Saty Dev, Rajeev Srivastava 
    Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) processes are the emerging technologies to produce complex geometry with higher dimensional accuracy and preferred resolution in nanofabrication. The AM technologies for nanofabrication have dissimilar process characteristics and requirements such as capability, resolution and material compatibility. The aim of this study is to develop an integrated multi-criteria decision making (I-MCDM) model to find the correct choice AM techniques for nanofabrication. The technique ranking problem is formulated as multi-criteria decision model and priorities are obtained through combined analytic hierarchy process and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (AHP-TOPSIS) method. The greater value of closeness coefficient obtained through TOPSIS shows that the alternative is close to positive ideal solution and it further means that it settled with the constraints of decision criteria. The contribution of study supports the development and application of combined AHP-TOPSIS method to select best the suitable technique for nanofabrication.
