This book focuses exclusively on the plastic part attachment technology commonly called snap-fits or sometimes integral attachments. This book explains the attachment level approach to snap-fit design and, within the framework of the method, will provide a step-by-step description of the snap-fit development process. Many illustrations are provided to show what kinds of snap-fit features are available to the designer. This book is truly one-of-a-kind: it is the first book written on the subject because Paul Bonenberger is the creator of the attachment level approach.
