Title overview

For courses in manufacturing process

In Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, 8th Edition in SI Units, the authors continue their efforts to present a comprehensive, balanced, and most importantly, an up-to-date coverage of the science, engineering, and technology of manufacturing. It places an emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of every manufacturing activity, including complex interactions between materials, design, process, and manufacturing process and operations.

The text is designed to help students learn not only the science and engineering that drives manufacturing, but to understand and appreciate manufacturing's important role in our modern, global economy. With more than 120 examples and case studies, the text presents students with a breadth of challenges while providing them the tools and encouragement to explore solutions to those challenges.

Key features

  • An excellent overview of manufacturing concepts provides a balance of relevant fundamentals and real-world practices.
  • Lists and process comparisons give students an in-depth look at manufacturing processes and operations. The chapters on specific groups of manufacturing processes and operations feature lists of typical parts produced by the processes described in the chapter, as well as a list of competing and alternative processes to produce the same types of parts.
  • A wealth of examples and industrially relevant case studies demonstrate the importance of the subject matter, offer a real-world perspective, and keep students interested and engaged.
  • Superior use of analogies, discussions, and problems motivate students' interest in the material.

New to this edition

  • Over 20 chapters have been revised or edited to better reflect today's manufacturing landscape.
    • Coverage of the latest technological advances, like rapid prototyping, nanofabrication, rapid tooling, and semisolid metalworking includes the most dramatic change in manufacturing in recent years.
  • Numerous new topics and illustrations are updated throughout the text to be relevant to all aspects of modern manufacturing.
  • Illustrations and examples have been updated to reflect recent advances in manufacturing.
  • Chapter 20 has been heavily revised to include the latest additive manufacturing technologies.
  • Expanded the Questions, Qualitative Problems, Quantitative Problems, and Design/Projects at the end of each chapter have been expanded.
  • The text now contains more cross references to other relevant sections, tables, and illustrations in the book.
