The book consists of a collection of papers from a corresponding conference regarding additive manufacturing. The yearly conference used to be held in German under the title "Konstruktion für die Additive Fertigung" and is held in English since last year.
The topics are

Specifications, potentials, and solutions
Contributions to specifications on components and processes and methods for assessing the suitability of components and the application of additive manufacturing and finding solutions for concepts and design
Design and optimization
Contributions to the development and design of components, their design to ensure functional requirements and manufacturability, and methods and tools for optimization components
Simulation, validation, and quality assurance
Contributions to approaches for the computer-aided and physical validation of components, the testing of components and material, and measures to ensure quality aspects
Process chain and business models
Contributions to their integration of additive manufacturing processes into existing processes and measures to increase value creation and the creation of new business models.
