Konstruktionspraxis im Maschinenbau

Machine components today are no longer exclusively made from traditional iron materials and other metals, but also from plastics, granite, and polymer concrete. This book focuses on designing and shaping machines from a variety of materials in a way that is suitable for manufacturing, cost-effective, and appropriate for assembly and joining. The goal of "Design Practice in Mechanical Engineering" is to deepen and enhance the design process to facilitate the implementation of design rules and examples in daily practice. Illustrated with numerous examples, the reader gains important practical solutions. Discussions on machine design broaden the perspective and facilitate effective collaboration with designers. This textbook and workbook is aimed at both students of mechanical engineering who have completed their foundational studies and at newcomers to the profession as well as experienced designers. Content includes: - Designing suitable for manufacturing and cost - Special requirements and design tools - Designing suitable for assembly and joining - Designing machines. For the fifth edition, the compact textbook has been fundamentally redesigned and expanded to include sections on additive manufacturing/3D printing and structured sheets.
