CONTENIDO:

Manufacturing processes touch our lives every day. Manufacturing methods effect our industrial productivity which affects our very standard of living. This book is intended to provide an in depth introduction of manufacturing processes to the engineering and technology student. A constant focus of the book is to view manufacturing as a total system which begins with the functional design of the product and continues through the manufacturing process. The book provides a background of how to design so as to help ensure a successful producto In so doing, the book provides fundamental information on engineering materials, manufacturing processes, and automation so that the product designer can capitalize on the most favorable materials, processes, and methods available to transform his or her ideas into specifications for the product and process. The principal constraints associated with product design are developed so as to determine their inftuence on the design itself. These constraints include: quantity to be produced, delivery requirements, product reliability, the price the potential customer will pay, the value of appearance, human engineering, product function, and preventative maintenance. This volume is a suitable text (at the undergraduate level) for students in various engineering and technology curricula. It should be of significant value to manufacturing, industrial, mechanical, and electrical engineering students concerned with product and process designo The book is also a valuable reference text for product design and manufacturing departments in industry. Design, manufacturing, and tool engineers will find the book a valuable addition to help meet increasing competition in the United States.
