Riassunto:

Manufacturing and Design presents a fresh view on the world of industrial production: thinking in terms of both abstraction levels and trade-offs. The book invites its readers to distinguish between what is possible in principle for a certain process (as determined by physical law); what is possible in practice (the production method as determined by industrial state-of-the-art); and what is possible for a certain supplier (as determined by its production equipment). Specific processes considered here include metal forging, extrusion, and casting; plastic injection molding and thermoforming; additive manufacturing; joining; recycling; and more. By tackling the field of manufacturing processes from this new angle, this book makes the most out of a reader's limited time. It gives the knowledge needed to not only create well-producible designs, but also to understand supplier needs in order to find the optimal compromise. Apart from improving design for production, this publication raises the standards of thinking about producibility.

Informazioni sugli autori: Erik Tempelman is an Associate Professor of Industrial Design Engineering at Delft University of Technology (NL). A respected
teacher, he is well-known for his style and enthusiasm for education and for always connecting manufacturing process choices
to key design requirements and optimal cost/value ratios. He has published on a range of subjects, from automotive materials
selection to engineering education.

Hugh Shercliff is an Emeritus Associate Professor in Materials in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge
(UK). His research experience spanned all classes of engineering materials, with an emphasis on process modelling applied to
the forming and joining of light alloys. He is co-author with Michael Ashby and David Cebon of Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design, Fourth Edition (Butterworth-Heinemann, 2018), and Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering (Butterworth-Heinemann, 2023).

Bruno Ninaber van Eyben graduated with distinction in the design of plastics and metals at the Maastricht Academy in 1971. Since then, he has designed many iconic products, from coins to the gavel used by the Dutch Parliament. Today, he divides his time between his own Studio Nanaber and a part-time professorship at Delft University of Technology, Industrial Design Engineering.
