Rapid Tooling Guidelines for Sand Casting describes the guidelines for the sand casting industry in using rapid tooling processes. Topics in the seven chapters include sand casting processes, tool design and construction, fast freeform fabrication processes, rapid tooling processes, sand casting dimension control, rapid tooling evaluation methods and decision making processes. Twelve case studies will also be examined in the book.
"Focuses on functional, aesthetically pleasing, mechanically reliable, and easily made products that improve profitability for manufacturers and provide long-term satisfaction for customers. Offers concrete, practical insight immediately applicable to new product design and development projects."
This compendium of product design methods focuses on functional, aesthetically pleasing, mechanically reliable, and easily made products that improve profitability for manufacturers and provide long-term satisfaction for customers. Offers concrete, practical insight immediately applicable to new product design and development projects A useful resource for practicing design and manufacturing professionals who wish to improve their products and their realization processes, Product Design Methods and Practices integrates fundamental engineering design principles with management "best practices" discusses modern design techniques, including design for assembly, analytical optimization, the Taguchi method, and probabilistic design presents numerous case studies and practical examples to illustrate design methods and concepts considers the complex interplay between product performance, product quality, and manufacturing productivity clarifies how to design for cost, quality, and delivery provides original design methods such as process-driven design, manufacturability improvement, standardization and rationalization, and design review checklist emphasizes basing design requirements on customer need stresses the importance of predicting and preventing failure to ensure reliability and durability describes how robustness is achieved by designing products to be tolerant of change and variation in manufacturing, operating, and business conditions shows that low life-cycle cost is attained by designing products to be easily manufactured, assembled, tested, serviced, and maintained and more Organized into concise, self-contained chapters that can be read and applied independently, Product Design Methods and Practices is an essential guide for mechanical, manufacturing, automotive, industrial and product design engineers; production and quality control specialists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these

This concise and readable manual is a useful resource for anyone interested in the design of engineered products and equipment. The Design for Everything Manual integrates a wide range of "design for X" topics such as user-centered design, efficient design, design for manufacture, and coordinated product and process design into a unified "Design for Everything" approach that is easily understood and used regardless of technical background or training. Over the years, a wealth of practical design knowledge has been learned about how to achieve good design. This knowledge is captured by four fundamental rules of good design: the rule of needs, the rule of clarity, the rule of simplicity, and the rule of safety. Good design is achieved by applying these rules in a systematic and disciplined manner to the critical choices that define the design. The manual is derived from notes that the author developed over many years of teaching a course on "Design for X" in the Master of Product Design and Development Program at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. "Design for X" (DFX for short) is a label applied to a large collection of design methods (e.g., Design for Assembly, Lean Design) and design guidelines that address particular design issues. The Design for Everything Manual focuses on the principles and practices that underlie the DFX methods rather than on the methods themselves. It covers the same material and addresses the same spectrum of concerns, but in a simpler and more integrated fashion. Design for Everything is a strategic design approach that is of value to those studying, teaching, and practicing design across a wide range of disciplines. Design and manufacturing executives, product managers and project managers, and other high-level decision makers can use the manual to quickly learn how to achieve good design. Experienced design engineers and industrial designers can use it as a handy reference. Business students and engineering students can use it as a practical guide for new product development courses and senior design projects. Manufacturing companies can use it to develop a "common language" and "shared vision" for good design. Ultimately, all designers can use it as a guiding light for achieving the elusive goal of "doing it right the first time."
