Description
Book SynopsisExamining processes that affect more than 70 percent of consumer products ranging from computers to medical devices and automobiles, this reference presents the latest research in automated plastic injection and die casting mold design and manufacture. It analyzes many industrial examples and methodologies while focusing on the algorithms, implementation procedures, and system architectures that will lead to a fully automated or semi-automated computer-aided injection mold design system (CADIMDS). This invaluable guide in this challenging area of precision engineering summarizes key findings and innovations from the authors' many years of research on intelligent mold design technologies.
Trade Review"...the most comprehensive and detailed review of all the major developments that have characterized the emergence of these important fields. It will form an indispensable reference work for scientists and engineers in academia and industry for years to come....recommend[ed]." - Dr. Donald Fitzmaurice, Department of Chemistry, University College Dublin, Ireland; "This Encyclopaedia is being assembled at an early stage in the field's development and should bring together the key advances in a coherently organised framework." - Sir Harry Kroto, Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry (1996), University of Sussex, Brighton, United Kingdom"
