Retaining its unique and much praised organization, this leading text has been revised to reflect the most recent developments in design tools. It provides students, apprentices, and on-the-job professionals with a detailed and clear presentation of the underlying principles of design, and explains and illustrates how these basic engineering principles can be readily adapted to a virtually limitless variety of designs. Each of the 14 steps in the authors' procedure for designing a die is illustrated both in pictorial view and as a portion of an engineering drawing. All essential mathematics is carefully introduced and explained as needed.
