A "must have" for design/manufacturing engineers
12 Feb 2000
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I teach Product Design Engineering at Ohio State and I can honestly say that Bralla is absolutely the best single reference for working designers and manufacturing engineers that I've found. An incredible compendium of useful info on just about any manufacturing process you can think of, and plenty you HAVEN'T thought of, plus chapters on Design for Assembly, materials, economic considerations - you name it. The book is a bit pricey, but considering the amount of useful information packed into it, it's a steal. Bralla far exceeds McGraw-Hill's regrettably low standards for their handbooks - this one is a keeper!

A good starting point
30 Mar 2008
Format:Hardcover
The book provides a good starting point for design, especially for new engineers. Much of the content is `common sense' to those with experience. It covers many topics, but none in significant depth. I have yet to find a real alternative to talking to machine shops, but with the help of this text you may at least be on the same wavelength. Most people buying this will be doing it with their company's money - in saved time it is definitely worth it.
Industrial Design Professor
6 Mar 2012
Format:Hardcover
From my experiences at Philadelphia University teaching design, prototyping and manufacturing, this book is a great reference for industrial designers. As other reviewers have noted it is a bit pricey even used and that is probably because only a fool would sell it back. The chapter/section numbering system can be a little tough for a newbie to grasp straight away. This makes the index a bit harder to use however, the key to this book is the content it delivers. I recommend getting a copy in every course I teach.
p.s. I have not yet evaluated the kindle version.
