Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A great product design is only as good as its ability to be manufactured.Manufacturing Processes Handbook for Design Professionals bridges the gap between CAD design and real-world production, helping you understand how manufacturing decisions affect geometry, tolerances, materials, tooling, cost, and ultimately whether a part can be produced efficiently.Written specifically from the designer's point of view, this practical handbook helps you build the manufacturing intuition needed to make smarter decisions before expensive tooling, supplier revisions, or production problems appear.Inside, you'll learn how to: - Design parts around the real capabilities of CNC milling, turning, injection molding, casting, sheet metal forming, forging, and additive manufacturing- Apply practical Design for Manufacturing principles to reduce unnecessary complexity, setups, tooling, and cost- Understand tolerances, GD&T, fits, datum selection, and tolerance stack-up without losing sight of functional requirements- Select materials and manufacturing processes based on geometry, volume, performance, and economics- Design molded and cast parts with appropriate walls, ribs, draft, fillets, and shrinkage considerations- Move intelligently from prototype to production while communicating more effectively with machinists, moldmakers, foundries, fabricators, and manufacturing suppliers- Evaluate joining, finishing, assembly, quality control, and production ramp-up as part of the complete product-development processRather than simply listing manufacturing rules, the book explains why those rules exist, helping you develop judgment you can transfer to unfamiliar parts and projects.Whether you are a product designer, industrial designer, mechanical engineer, design engineer, or CAD professional, this handbook gives you the manufacturing fluency needed to create parts that work not only on screen-but on the factory floor.Build manufacturability into your designs from the beginning-get your copy today.
