Thames & Hudson Manufacturing Processes for Design Professionals

I would like to see an update on the contents of this book

good explanations an illustrations

El libro es muy claro y de alta calidad. Tiene bien definidos los procesos de manufactura y los describe con sus aplicaciones, además de que aborda muchos materiales. La calidad es excelente, las hojas son a color y vienen plastificadas, entonces te ofrece colores muy vividos.

I found as a new mechanical engineering graduate this has helped my understanding of manufacturing processes and how to use that knowledge to help my engineering designs. Very informative and well structured. One of the best textbooks I own (I have a large collection).

I graduated from mechanical engineering school about a year ago and got a job shortly after. If it's one thing I've learned, it's how grossly unprepared school made me for designing manufacturable parts and explaining manufacturing techniques in any sort of detail. Thankfully, this book fills the gap nicely. I'd consider this book an encyclopedia of virtually every kind of manufacturing technique out there. And the author explains things quite eloquently, in a concise and consistent manner. Thousands of diagrams and full-color photographs aid the explanations. Quick, at-a-glance facts about the different techniques tell you their costs and suitability for various situations. Perhaps most importantly, tons of case studies are scattered throughout which put real-world examples to the topics. I was a little skeptical after reading other reviews mentioning this book is only good for furniture design. That's not true. While certain manufacturing techniques are covered that may be mostly suitable for furniture design versus other, engineered parts, this book covers manufacturing techniques for engineers like casting, forming, and molding. To be honest I'm surprised such a high-quality book sells for only $50, considering I've easily paid twice that for books in college that weren't nearly as informative or helpful. I'm just sad I didn't find and buy this book months ago when I was struggling to research this information online (and trust me I never found a web site or web sites that compare to this book).
