Synopsis
The systems-level knowledge and design skills needed to create good snap-fit interfaces existed in the minds of self-taught snap-fit experts but was not captured in the literature. New designers of plastic parts wishing to use snap-fit had nowhere to turn unless they were fortunate enough to have access to an experienced snap-fit designer. This book organizes and presents all design aspects of snap-fits with an emphasis on the systems level thinking required to create world-class attachments. Beginning, as well as experienced, product designers will find the information they need to develop snap-fits more efficiently and avoid many common snap-fit problems. The third edition has been thoroughly revised to include new case histories and applications. The text has been extensively rewritten for clarity and user-friendliness and there are many new figures with expert explanations.

Synopsis
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.
