A Practical Guide to Materials, Processes, Machining, Automation, Quality Control, and Advanced Production Technologies
Every manufactured product hides a chain of decisions: which material to choose, which process will shape it, how to hold its tolerances, how to join its parts, and how to keep quality consistent at scale. Most engineers and students learn these decisions in fragments — a materials course here, a machining lab there, a separate unit on automation — and are left to connect the dots on their own. Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing was built to close that gap.
Instead of treating casting, forming, machining, joining, metrology, and automation as isolated topics, this handbook presents manufacturing as one connected engineering system. It starts with the structure of production itself — cycle time, capacity, utilization — then builds outward through material behavior, the major shaping and machining process families, joining and assembly, and finally into CNC programming, statistical quality control, robotics, and additive manufacturing. Each chapter shows not just how a process works, but why it behaves the way it does, what variables actually control the result, and how that choice ripples forward into cost, quality, and the next stage of production.
What sets this book apart is its consistency and its discipline. Every one of its sixteen chapters follows the same rigorous structure: clear learning objectives, theory built from first principles, equations tied to physical meaning and correct units, fully worked examples that show the reasoning behind each answer — not just the number — and practice problems with answer keys for self-check or classroom use. Nearly ninety figures and dozens of comparison tables translate abstract mechanisms into visual, memorable references, while a full glossary and chapter-indexed index make the book as useful for lookup as it is for cover-to-cover study.
Inside, you'll find:
- A complete process landscape : casting, bulk and sheet forming, polymer/ceramic/composite processing, conventional and nontraditional machining, and joining, compared by capability and limitation rather than listed as disconnected techniques
- Real engineering calculation : cutting forces, machining time, tool life, statistical process capability, robot and cell productivity, and additive build-time estimation, worked step by step
- A dedicated quality and metrology chapter covering GD&T, control charts, and process capability, tying design intent directly to production performance
- Forward-looking chapters on CNC/CAD-CAM, industrial robotics, and additive manufacturing, digital twins, and sustainable production — extending the fundamentals into where manufacturing is heading
- SI-first units with US customary equivalents where industry practice demands them, so the math matches the shop floor
Manufacturing rewards people who understand the whole system, not just one machine at a time. Start building that understanding today — pick up your copy of Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing and see how the pieces fit together.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
