Tool And Manufacturing Engineers Handbook Plastic Part Manufacturing

You'll rely on Forming to help you understand over 50 forming processes plus the advantages, limitations, and operating parameters for each process. Save valuable production time and gain a competitive edge with practical data that covers both the basics and advanced forming processes. Forming also helps you choose the most appropriate materials, utilize innovative die designs, and assess the advantages and limitations of different press types and processes.

Addresses important topics of DFM, including how it relates to Concurrent Engineering, management issues, getting started in DFM, how to justify using DFM, applying quality tools and how DFM is affecting computer technology (and vice versa). Covers topics starting with the creative thinking process, to combining DFM with geometrical dimensioned tolerancing. Also includes product design information that designers should know when committing pen to paper or mouse to mat.

The TMEH Desk Edition presents a unique collection of manufacturing information in one convenient source. Contains selected information from TMEH Volumes 1-5--over 1,200 pages of manufacturing information. A total of 50 chapters cover topics such as machining, forming, materials, finishing, coating, quality control, assembly, and management.
