This book helps readers develop an in-depth understanding of the processes involved in microparts design, microforming process determination, tooling design and product quality assurance. Includes extensive and informative illustrations, tables and photos.

This book contributes to understanding of Technology Evaluation and Selection in the perspective of Life Cycles. Presents case studies to help readers understand the interplay between available solutions and the specific problem or opportunity they confront.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to Industry 4.0 applications, not only introducing implementation aspects but also proposing a conceptual framework with respect to the design principles.

This book introduces social manufacturing, the next generation manufacturing paradigm that covers product life cycle activities that deal with Internet-based organizational and interactive mechanisms under the context of socio-technical systems in the fields of industrial and production engineering.

The topics discussed include non-Euclidian geometry of cutting tools, non-free cutting mechanics and non-linear machine tool dynamics, applying non-linear science/complexity to machining, and all the achievements and their practical significance have been theoretically proved and experimentally verified.
