Manufacturing Processes, 3rd Edition
Manufacturing Processes provides an in-depth introduction to the manufacturing processes found in existing and developing industrial facilities. An overview of current automated manufacturing systems is presented. The five major materials are covered: metals, plastics, ceramics, woods, and composites. This text provides a thorough coverage of the forming, separating, fabricating, conditioning, and finishing processes related to each material. A chapter covering packaging completes the text.
