The process of producing components to final net-shapes is fast becoming a desirable goal for metal working industries. This is due to a combination of factors such as the development of new materials and escalating energy costs. This book addresses the design, analysis and simulation of near net-shape operations using some of the most advanced computer techniques and tools available. Topics covered include: sheet metal forming operations: progressive stamping, fine blanking, nesting, flat pattering, bending and nibbling; die design, construction and NC programming of wire EDM; bulk metal...
