Process Planning: The Design/Manufacture Interface by Peter Scallan BSc MSc pdf epub fb2

Process Planning: The Design/Manufacture Interface provides the student and engineer with a comprehensive guide to choosing the correct processes suitable for manufacturing the desired product out of the chosen materials. The authors incorporate this process selection into the design process thus allowing engineers to then consider the effect the various processes will have on the manufacturing of the product at the design stage rather than waiting until a prototype has been approved for production. Such consideration is a vital aid to efficiency in cost and time and is an essential skill in the modern manufacturing engineer. Containing numerous case studies and illustrations, this is the only textbook currently available in this area.
