DESCRIPTION:
A directory of more than fifty materials includes a detailed technical profile, images of typical applications and finishes, and an overview of each material's design characteristics. Information on the internet about such processes is often unreliable, and search engines do not usefully organize material for designers. They have to be knowledgeable about a vast repertoire of processes, ranging from what used to be known as traditional "crafts" to the latest technology, to enable their designs to be manufactured effectively and efficiently. 1,200 color photographs and illustrations. The accompanying step-by-step case studies look at a product or component being manufactured at a leading international supplier. Organized into four easily referenced partsForming, Cutting, Joining, and Finishingover seventy manufacturing processes are explained in depth with full technical descriptions; analyses of the typical applications, design opportunities, and considerations each process offers; and information on cost, speed, and

Enjoy. I was beyond pleasantly surprised with this book. I would describe it as more than just a compendium of manufacturing techniques and materials. The descriptions, photos and illustrations (1,200+) extend well beyond brief encyclopedic articles. Many of the processes are described in detail. The book is divided into five sections that have conveniently color coded edges. I was also shocked at the high quality printing (201Enjoy.

If you are looking to buy a book on manufacturing processes, look no further. This is by far the best book I've ever read and it's tough to find in public libraries as it is always in demand. Descriptions are detailed and relevant pictures makes it easy to understand. This makes the whole book very lively instead of a bunch of equations and derivations/explanations. I bought this book from Hay-on-Wye booksellers. Their service takes awhile to reach from UK to US but they do ship a quality product. Would definitely recommend this book to any manufacturing e. JennyMac said Cool book with great pictures. This is a really cool book and provides excellent pictures of manufacturing processes and materials. It was required reading for a class in grad school and unfortunately it was a better purchase than the actual class lectures. It will be especially useful in the future as a reference guide for these processes and materials.
