Modern Manufacturing Technology and Cost Estimation offers a systematic coverage of essential advanced manufacturing processes. Throughout this book, the authors stress practical approach to near-net-shape and non-traditional (EDM, ECM) processes. Technological developments have recently advanced along with materials, tooling and machines. This book serves as the concise resource related to: electrophysical and electrochemical methods and principles; near-net-shape processes and applications; technological knowledge systems developments; material - process: cost relationships; and...
