Springer Precision Product-Process Design and Optimization - AIMTDR 2016

This comprehensive guide introduces essential tools and techniques for designing precision and miniature products, assemblies, and their associated manufacturing processes. The book covers precision mechanisms, robotic devices, and advanced control strategies supported by real-world case studies. It explores micro and nano machining and forming processes utilising non-conventional energy sources including lasers, electro-discharge machining (EDM), and electrochemical machining (ECM). Readers will discover methods for achieving optimum performance through process modelling, simulation, and optimisation strategies, making this an invaluable resource for engineers and manufacturers seeking to enhance precision manufacturing capabilities and product development workflows.
