Description
Summary:Containing more than 300 equations and the extensive data necessary to estimate manufacturing and assembly cost during product design, benchmarking, and "should cost" analysis, this textbook gives students modern and effective tools for analyzing injection molding, sheet metalworking, die casting, powder metal processing costs, sand and investment casting, and hot forging. It includes discussions of the influence of the application of design for manufacture and assembly, material selection and economic ranking of processes, the effect of reduced assembly difficulties on product quality, the links between computer-aided design solid models and design analysis tools, and more.
