Description

An encyclopaedic guide to production techniques and materials for product and industrial designers, engineers, and architects.

Today’s product designers are presented with a myriad of choices when creating their work and preparing it for manufacture. They need to be knowledgeable about a vast repertoire of processes, ranging from what was once referred to as traditional “crafts” to the up to date technology, to enable their designs to be manufactured effectively and efficiently. Information on the web about such processes is ceaselessly unreliable, and search engines do not usefully organize material for designers.

This fundamental new resource explores innovative production techniques and materials that are having an affect on the design industry around the globe. Organized into four easily referenced parts―Forming, Cutting, Joining, and Finishing―over seventy manufacturing processes are explained in depth with full technical descriptions; analyses of the typical applications, design opportunities, and considerations each and every process offers; and information on cost, speed, and environmental affect. The accompanying step by step case studies look at a product or component being manufactured at a leading international supplier.

A directory of more than fifty materials includes a detailed technical profile, images of typical applications and finishes, and an overview of each and every material’s design characteristics. With some 1,200 color photographs and technical illustrations, specially commissioned for this book, this is the definitive reference for product designers, 3D designers, engineers, and architects who need a convenient, highly accessible, and practical reference. 1,200 color photographs and illustrations
