Today, manufacturing technology is an interdisciplinary field involving the analysis of product design to assure manufacturability, the selection, specification, and optimisation of the required equipment, tooling, processes and operations.

As the biomedical device industry grows substantially worldwide over the next few decades, significant issues regarding the health and safety of the manufacturing worker must be controlled and managed effectively in order to minimize unwanted exposures to chemical, biological and physical hazards encountered in the workplace. It is also important to bear in mind that safe delivery is not less important than efficient delivery. Medical devices may get contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms or cross contaminated as a result of delivering different drugs using the same device. This book...

Today, manufacturing technology is an interdisciplinary field involving the analysis of product design to assure manufacturability, the selection, specification and optimization of the required equipment, as well as tooling, processes and operations. Manufacturing technology is well established in a great number of industries such as aircraft, automotive, aerospace, machine tools, molds and dies, product manufacturing, computers, electronics, semiconductor and communications. This book focuses on all manufacturing technology materials, such as metals, plastics, ceramics, composites and...
