A good starting point The book provides a good starting point for design, especially for new engineers. Much of the content is `common sense' to those with experience. It covers many topics, but none in significant depth. I have yet to find a real alternative to talking to machine shops, but with the help of this text you may at least be on the same wavelength. Most people buying this will be doing it with their company's money - in saved time it is definitely worth it. | ||
Design handbook Great book for any junior designer in or fresh out of school, lots of important informations on manufacturing processes and there design guide lines. Includes lots of tolerance charts (metric and imperial)and information on various material: form metal to plastics. The biggest weakness is the lack of information on the latest technologies (laser cutting, water cutting and prototyping). Still its a must Félix Industrial Designer Aquam inc Montreal canada | ||
A "must have" for design/manufacturing engineers I teach Product Design Engineering at Ohio State and I can honestly say that Bralla is absolutely the best single reference for working designers and manufacturing engineers that I've found. An incredible compendium of useful info on just about any manufacturing process you can think of, and plenty you HAVEN'T thought of, plus chapters on Design for Assembly, materials, economic considerations - you name it. The book is a bit pricey, but considering the amount of useful information packed into it, it's a steal. Bralla far exceeds McGraw-Hill's regrettably low standards for their handbooks - this one is a keeper! | ||
