Dieses Buch zeigt Untersuchungen verschiedener Additive Manufacturing Technologien fur den industriellen Einsatz. Aus Sicht der Produktentwicklung werden Aspekte zur Beeinflussung der Wertschoepfungskette, technische und wirtschaftliche Einflussfaktoren fur die industrielle Anwendung sowie Konfektionierungs- und Nachbearbeitungsprozesse zur Verbesserung der Bauteilqualitat spezifiziert. Zur Evaluation der Einsatzpotentiale werden weiterhin Methoden und Werkzeuge fur die Bauteilgestaltung sowie zur Prozessanalyse und -optimierung dargestellt. Die Realisierung geanderter Gestaltungsziele, wie beispielsweise die Herstellung von Ultra-Leichtbau-Komponenten, wird ferner durch den Einsatz neuer Werkstoffe analysiert. Anhand diverser Fallstudien aus Forschung und Industrie werden aktuelle Einsatzgebiete des Additive Manufacturing dargestellt sowie kunftige Entwicklungen fur den Praxiseinsatz beschrieben.

Die Autoren geben einen UEberblick uber nahezu alle Materialien, die dem Ingenieur zur Verfugung stehen, seien es metallische, nichtmetallische, Naturstoffe oder Kunststoffe. Beschrieben werden integrierende physikalische Phanomene, wie z. B. atomare Bindung und Struktur, Diffusion und Phasenumwandlung, Vorgange an Grenzflachen, Korrosion, Festigkeit und Verformung, elektrische und magnetische Eigenschaften. Auch die Technologie der Herstellung von Werkstoffen und ihrer Verarbeitung zu Bauteilen wird ubergreifend dargestellt. Im Mittelpunkt der UEberarbeitung fur die 6. Auflage stand die Neufassung des zentralen Kapitels 10 "Festigkeit - Verformung - Bruch", welches die Zusammenhange zwischen Mikrostruktur und mechanischen Eigenschaften beschreibt. Andere Teile wurden redigiert und aktualisiert. Die Zielgruppen Das Buch eignet sich als Einfuhrung fur Studierende der Werkstoffwissenschaft und des Maschinenbaus genauso wie fur Ingenieure in der Praxis, welche die Erinnerung an Gelerntes auffrischen wollen.

The furniture industry serves as an indicator for the changing state of American manufacturing. A brief history of U.S. furniture manufacturing creates the context for continuing geographic shifts among Asian locations, foreign ownership impacts and global market considerations, as well as the demands of three significant domestic market demographics. The furniture industry is separated into its various parts from wood to metal, home to institutional markets. Government actions including tariffs, health, and environmental regulations are also considered. Based on numerous interviews and site visits, strategies of corporate survivors in the face of mergers, and emergence of new players are profiled to indicate practices for increasing adaptive capacity and marketing the appeal of "made here". This book highlights the role of global networks, lean and green production methods, customized quality versus price competitiveness, online outreach along with showroom access, labor issues, and related factors that continue to compel location shifts and extensions.

Designed for junior- and senior-level courses in plant and facilities planning and manufacturing systems and procedures, this textbook also is suitable for graduate-level and two-year college courses. The book takes a practical, hands-on, project-oriented approach to exploring the techniques and procedures for developing an efficient facility layout. It also introduces state-of-the-art tools including computer simulation. Access to Layout-iQ workspace planning software is included for purchasers of the book. Theoretical concepts are clearly explained and then rapidly applied to a practical setting through a detailed case study at the end of the volume. The book systematically leads students through the collection, analysis, and development of information to produce a quality functional plant layout for a lean manufacturing environment. All aspects of facility design, from receiving to shipping, are covered. In the sixth edition of this successful book, numerous updates and corrections have been made, and a chapter on engineering cost estimating and analysis has been added. Also, rather than including brief case-in-point examples at the end of each chapter, a single, detailed case study is provided that better exposes students to the multiple considerations that need to be taken into account when improving efficiency in a real manufacturing facility. The textbook has enjoyed substantial international adoptions and has been translated into Spanish and Chinese.

Winner, Alberta Historical Resources Foundation Heritage Award, Canadian Museums Association Outstanding Achievement in Publications, and Redgees Legacy AwardShortlisted, Robert Kroetsch City of Edmonton Book PrizeRemember pearl-snap Western shirts, Scrubbies jeans, and denim jackets, George W. Groovy, Cowboy Kings, Red Straps? Take a trip down memory lane and relive the GWG story! Remember the slogans "Anything Goes," "They wear longer, because they're made stronger," and Wayne Gretzky's declaration that "I grew up in GWGs"? GWGs have been a cultural icon in Canada since the company's founding in 1911. Here, at long last, is the complete, lushly illustrated history of the Great Western Garment Company, whose products were staples for some generations and defined cool for others. This lavish book includes archival photographs, advertisements, product photos, and insights on the long history of this iconic Canadian company. Begun in Edmonton, GWG not only manufactured jeans, but also helped immigrant women support their families, becoming a model of management and labour working collaboratively. GWG eventually became the largest workwear manufacturing company in Canada, providing different styles of work and leisure clothing for men, women, and children, and for the military during both world wars. Although Levis acquired the company during the 1960s and '70s and closed the last factories in 2004, the GWG brand remains a part of pop culture. It is firmly fixed in the Canadian psyche and still holds a place in Canadian hearts.

Distributed manufacturing offers the promise of bringing jobs back to local communities, producing goods that are personalized or harmonize with distinctive cultures, and thereby reversing significant aspects of the globalization that has dominated in recent years. Large corporations may still have important roles to play, but in collaboration with local workshops, providing machinery, software, databases of designs, and communication media suitable for a diverse and dynamic workforce. For years, a set of computer simulation laboratories has flourished, in which millions of people have used virtual machines to produce a great variety of products: massively multiplayer online role-playing games. Their systems are highly diverse, complex, and provide information capable of serious social science analysis. This book deeply explores 30 of these production-capable social media, based on thousands of hours of observation and extensive collection of statistical data, extracting hypotheses that may generalize to the real-world distributed manufacturing of the near future. This book begins with an overview of this universe of online virtual worlds then demonstrates the principles of virtual manufacturing, modes of work-related communication, socio-economic structures and dynamics, and the function of artificial intelligence in these human-technology systems. It concludes with consideration of the large-scale technical and cultural variation illustrated both by individual examples and by the rather large industry in which they have long been successful.
