A topic common to most engineering degrees is a basic manufacturing module. This book provides the first course in the principles of manufacturing processes, which should serve as a foundation for more advanced study. The book is intended for undergraduate engineers on combined general, mechanical and production engineering degrees, and those on HND/BTEC engineering courses. Fundamentals of Manufacturing for Engineers takes the student through the fundamental principles and practices of modern manufacturing processes in a lively and informative fashion. It covers topics such as casting, plastics, joining, polymers and rubbers, surface treatments and finishes, cutting CNC, productivity and automation and quality assurance. A scene-setting chapter also discusses the current economic position of the manufacturing sector.
