Manufacturing Processes for Design Professionals Review: Invaluable for new engineers - I graduated from mechanical engineering school about a year ago and got a job shortly after. If it's one thing I've learned, it's how grossly unprepared school made me for designing manufacturable parts and explaining manufacturing techniques in any sort of detail. Thankfully, this book fills the gap nicely. I'd consider this book an encyclopedia of virtually every kind of manufacturing technique out there. And the author explains things quite eloquently, in a concise and consistent manner. Thousands of diagrams and full-color photographs aid the explanations. Quick, at-a-glance facts about the different techniques tell you their costs and suitability for various situations. Perhaps most importantly, tons of case studies are scattered throughout which put real-world examples to the topics. I was a little skeptical after reading other reviews mentioning this book is only good for furniture design. That's not true. While certain manufacturing techniques are covered that may be mostly suitable for furniture design versus other, engineered parts, this book covers manufacturing techniques for engineers like casting, forming, and molding. To be honest I'm surprised such a high-quality book sells for only $50, considering I've easily paid twice that for books in college that weren't nearly as informative or helpful. I'm just sad I didn't find and buy this book months ago when I was struggling to research this information online (and trust me I never found a web site or web sites that compare to this book). Review: Excellent introduction to many manufacturing methods - While aimed at designers, this book is a great introduction to a large number of manufacturing processes, that even mechanical engineers benefit from. It gives a good background, explains the processes at a high level and hence give folk an insight into the capabilities of the process. Is it anything near the TMEH series published by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers? Of course not. On the other hand, you get a whole lot of manufacturing processes explained in a single tome with lots of pictures vs. literally thousands of pages (of mostly 1980-1990's era data) that get the average interested person so lost in the detail that they become meaningless. Thus, I bought a copy of this book for our office to help colleagues understand manufacturing processes they had not encountered before. This book is a great primer not on the details of each process, but on the general rules of the road. More importantly, it gives just enough background to allow readers to ask the right questions about process capabilities, costs, and so on. Highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #340,261 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #126 in Industrial & Product Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (276) | | Dimensions | 8.9 x 1.9 x 11.4 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0500513759 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0500513750 | | Item Weight | 5.78 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 528 pages | | Publication date | November 30, 2007 | | Publisher | Thames & Hudson | ## Images ![Manufacturing Processes for Design Professionals - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5147Q53nLXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Invaluable for new engineers *by B***. on June 15, 2011* I graduated from mechanical engineering school about a year ago and got a job shortly after.

I've always been the type that feels the need to get to know how things work and more and more find myself drawn to the world of manufacturing and have never found a good resource for the enormous amount of techniques that are used to create the many products that we enjoy day to day. This book couldn't have gotten it more right! As an architect with interests extending well beyond architecture into industrial and furniture design, this book is going to be a go to for me for a long time to come! Can't wait to order the other books within the series. ## Frequently Bought Together - Manufacturing Processes for Design Professionals - The Materials Sourcebook for Design Professionals - The Design of Everyday Things: Revised and Expanded Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/3781724-manufacturing-processes-for-design-professionals](https://www.desertcart.at/products/3781724-manufacturing-processes-for-design-professionals) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
