Fundamentals Of Tool Design Fifth Edition

The creation of a Fifth Edition is proof of the continuing vitality of the book's contents, including: tool design and materials; jigs and fixtures; workholding principles; die manipulation; inspection, gaging, and tolerances; computer hardware and software and their applications; joining processes, and pressworking tool design. To stay abreast of the newer developments in design and manufacturing, every effort has been made to include those technologies that are currently finding applications in tool engineering. For example, sections on rapid prototyping, hydroforming, and simulation have been added or enhanced. The basic principles and methods discussed in Fundamentals of Tool Design can be used by both students and professionals for designing efficient tools.

For over 40 years, students, designers, and manufacturing practitioners have used the Fundamentals of Tool Design to gain an in-depth understanding of all the factors that impact tool success. Fully illustrated, readers will find practical design examples, cost analysis calculations, process data, operating parameters, and tips and techniques--all of the concrete knowledge needed to spark innovation and resolve complex tooling challenges.

Includes material on numerical control; the computer in tool design, etc.

Presents a structured review for the Certified Manufacturing Engineer examination. This book covers various areas of advanced manufacturing science that include: personal effectiveness, machining processes analysis, forming processes analysis, joining and fastening analysis, deburring and finishing analysis, and environmental management.

DVD contains segments from the following tool design programs: Tool materials -- Cutting tool design -- Fixture design -- Progressive die design -- Gaging & inspection tool design -- Computer-aided design -- Rapid tooling design -- Composite tooling design -- Troubleshooting tool & die making .
