This book covers new approaches to the manufacture of moulds and dies in highly technological settings. Discusses modern CAM systems and process planning for three and five axis machining, and explores advantages of high-speed milling over traditional methods.
This book covers detailed concepts and practical technologies based on system optimization methodologies that consider a broad range of mechanical and human factors. The core concepts and methodologies discussed can be applied to many business fields.
Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been used to refine decision-making in networked enterprise processes, integrating people, information and products across the network boundaries. This book addresses the concepts and applications of AI technologies in the management of networked manufacturing enterprises.
As a columnist for "Blade" magazine, the author - a master bladesmith - has been answering real questions from real knifemakers. This book compiles these details for the knifemakers, amateur or professional. It gives the answers to real-world problems like heat-treating, choosing the best steel and finding the right tools for the knifemakers shop.
The changing nature of manufacturing with increased automation and the continuing integration of intelligent systems, together with cut-throat competition on economic grounds means that every advance possible will be in demand from industry itself. This work constitutes the proceedings of the 34th International Matador Conference.
Tools for metal cutting have many shapes and features, each of which is described by its angles or geometries. The selection of the right cutting tool geometry is critical because it directly affects the overall machining efficiency. This title outlines the objectives of cutting tool geometry selection and optimization.
Bringing together the collective wisdom of a past generation of craftsmen, this title provides an in-depth record of the skills and techniques that made the mass production revolution of the twentieth century possible. It includes detailed descriptions of every procedure, and essential mathematical rules and calculations for use in the workshop.
