A comprehensive text on the science, engineering, and technology of manufacturing 

In Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, 8th Edition in SI Units, the authors continue their efforts to present a comprehensive, balanced, and most importantly, up-to-date coverage of the science, engineering, and technology of manufacturing. It places an emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of every manufacturing activity, including complex interactions between materials, design, process, and manufacturing process and operations. 

The text is designed to help students learn not only the science and engineering that drives manufacturing but to understand and appreciate manufacturing’s important role in our modern, global economy. With more than 120 examples and case studies, the text presents students with a breadth of challenges while providing them with the tools and encouragement to explore solutions to those challenges. 

The new edition is thoroughly updated with numerous new topics and illustrations relevant to all aspects of manufacturing and includes a completely revised chapter covering the rapid advances in additive manufacturing.
