Summary: Designers are presented with a myriad of choices when preparing work for manufacture. Whether professionals or students, they must be thoroughly knowledgeable about how their designs can be produced efficiently and effectively. Part of a new series built on the authority of Rob Thompson's highly acclaimed Manufacturing Processes for Design Professionals, this book is the essential reference guide to creating product and furniture designs for mass production in a wide range of specialized design disciplines. It describes more than thirty manufacturing processes, from the traditional to cutting-edge technologies, and features more than 400 specially commissioned photographs and technical illustrations. Clearly presented and highly detailed, the book is organized into three easily referenced parts: forming, joining and finishing. An explanation of each manufacturing process provides a full technical description; analysis of typical applications and the design opportunities it offers; and information on cost, speed and environmental impact. Each process is accompanied by detailed step-by-step case studies that show a product or component being manufactured by a leading international supplier. Photographs of geometry, detail, color and surface finish complete the practical information. Product and Furniture Design is a vital resource for product designers, 3D designers, engineers and architects the design innovators of today and tomorrow.
