Manufacturing Process Selection Handbook - 2013 Book - K. G. Swift, J. D. Booker - Book Information

Manufacturing Process Selection Handbook: From design to manufacture (Google eBook)

K. G. Swift, J. D. Booker

Butterworth-Heinemann, 15-Feb-2013 - Technology & Engineering - 456 pages


Manufacturing Process Selection Handbook provides engineers and designers with process knowledge and the essential technological and cost data to guide the selection of manufacturing processes early in the product development cycle.

Building on content from the authors’ earlier introductory Process Selection guide, this expanded handbook begins with the challenges and benefits of identifying manufacturing processes in the design phase and appropriate strategies for process selection. The bulk of the book is then dedicated to concise coverage of different manufacturing processes, providing a quick reference guide for easy comparison and informed decision making.

For each process examined, the book considers key factors driving selection decisions, including:

Basic process descriptions with simple diagrams to illustrate
Notes on material suitability
Notes on available process variations
Economic considerations such as costs and production rates
Typical applications and product examples
Notes on design aspects and quality issues
Providing a quick and effective reference for the informed selection of manufacturing processes with suitable characteristics and capabilities, Manufacturing Process Selection Handbook is intended to quickly develop or refresh your experience of selecting optimal processes and costing design alternatives in the context of concurrent engineering. It is an ideal reference for those working in mechanical design across a variety of industries and a valuable learning resource for advanced students undertaking design modules and projects as part of broader engineering programs.
