Focuses on new and advanced methods of manufacturing and materials processing with traditional methods described in light of the new approaches

Maximizes reader understanding of fundamentals of how material changes, what transport processes are involved, and how these can be simulated and optimized, concepts not covered elsewhere

Introduces new materials and applications in manufacturing and summarizes traditional processing methods such as heat treatment, bonding, extrusion, casting, injection molding, metal forming, and plastic processing
