Quick Die Change, Second Edition pulls together various manufacturing concepts to demonstrate how to achieve dramatic setup time reductions. The book covers not only the basics of changing dies quickly but many fundamental concepts of pressworking that affect the correct changeover of dies.
Rapid Prototyping
Rapid Tooling Design explores the development and application of various direct and indirect rapid tooling technologies used to create injection molds.
This eBook contains material on the use of software, organization strategies in cost estimating, types of costs, learning curves, and much more. Topics presented include manufacturing costs, standard versus actual costs, cost in relation to product volume, analysis, types of estimates, cost estimating controls, cost requests from other departments, evaluating supplier quotes, calculating selling prices, and much more.
Revised and expanded, the book recognizes the extremely important role estimating is playing in today’s highly competitive global economy. Realistic Cost Estimating for Manufacturing provides a survey of the myriad manufacturing processes and practices and combines this with in-depth explanations and examples of costing methods and tools. A comprehensive, standardized approach to their application is given. Among the manufacturing processes surveyed are: machining, casting, stamping, forging, welding, plastics technology, finishing, and rapid prototyping.
