Manufacturing Engineering and Technology in Si Units

For courses in manufacturingprocess

A comprehensive text on thescience, engineering, and technology of manufacturing

In Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, 8thEdition in SI Units, the authors continue their efforts to present acomprehensive, balanced, and most importantly, an up-to-date coverage of thescience, engineering, and technology of manufacturing. It places an emphasis onthe interdisciplinary nature of every manufacturing activity, including complexinteractions between materials, design, process, and manufacturing process andoperations.

The text is designed to help students learn not only the scienceand engineering that drives manufacturing, but to understand and appreciatemanufacturing’s important role in our modern, global economy. With more than120 examples and case studies, the text presents students with a breadth ofchallenges while providing them the tools and encouragement to exploresolutions to those challenges.

Thenew edition is thoroughly updated with numerous new topics and illustrationsrelevant to all aspects of manufacturing and includes a completely revisedchapter covering the rapid advances in additive manufacturing.
