Offering a specifically design-orientated approach to the technical aspects of product design, this volume gives detailed coverage of the most-used manufacturing processes and materials. It aims to provide students with the knowledge base required to make informed choices for industrial-design projects without getting side-tracked by detailed technical discussions, and to provide practising industrial designers with a ready-reference when beginning the design process. The information is outlined in a straightforward chart form, and the text lists the advantages and disadvantages of each material and method.
