Designing Successful Products with Plastics: Creating Optimum Parts for Successful Products

Designing Successful Products with Plastics: Creating Optimum Parts for Successful Products provides expert insight into the design considerations required to bring a concept product or part through the design process and into a ready-for-production state. The four pillars are the choices of materials, processes, tooling and design, and this book shows how the integration of these four pillars into every design decision allows the designer to fully vet and optimize the design. Rather than focusing on design rules and engineering equations used during product manufacture, the emphasis of the book is on what the designer needs to consider during the early conceptual visualization stages, and the detailed stages of the design process. This approach will bridge the gap between the industrial designer, tasked with the 'big picture' product design and use, and the part designer, tasked with the detailed plastic part design for manufacture. Useful to both experienced and novice designers, this book brings valuable design process information through specific examples, enabling designers and engineers in the plastics industry to effectively use the available technical information to successfully design and manufacture new products. Bridges the gap between the industrial designer working on product design and use, and the part designer working on detailed part design for manufactureEnables designers to establish a solid foundation for new product development on the 'four pillars' of the process: materials, processes, tooling, and designProvides a hierarchy and roadmap through creative product design and implementation, so engineers can translation a product from creative concept through to realization INDICE: 1.
