Description
"This is the best introduction to manufacturing processes and materials you will find anywhere. It is a magnificent production, the only manufacturing text that could double as a coffee table book. Covering all kinds of manufacturing processes and materials, from fabric to metal, it will help you understand how manufacturing works. The book is well appointed with diagrams that would make Edward Tufte proud. Descriptions are written for an audience without prior manufacturing experience. Each section provides information in an encylopedic fashion allowing you to easily understand the benefits and drawbacks in a truly comparative fashion."
