Industrial Design

Industrial Design: Materials and Manufacturing Guide, Second
Edition provides the detailed coverage of materials and
manufacturing processes that industrial designers need without the
in-depth and overly technical discussions commonly directed toward
engineers. Author Jim Lesko gives you the practical knowledge you
need to develop a real-world understanding of materials and
processes and make informed choices for industrial design
projects.

In this book, you will find everything from basic terminology to
valuable insights on why certain shapes work best for particular
applications. You'll learn how to extract the best performance from
all of the most commonly used methods and materials.
