Editorial Review:
Containing more than 300 equations and the extensive data necessary to estimate manufacturing and assembly cost during product design, benchmarking, and "should cost" analysis, this textbook gives students modern and effective tools for analyzing injection molding, sheet metalworking, die casting, powder metal processing costs, sand and investment casting, and hot forging. It includes discussions of the influence of the application of design for manufacture and assembly, material selection and economic ranking of processes, the effect of reduced assembly difficulties on product quality, the links between computer-aided design solid models and design analysis tools, and more.

Overview
Boothroyd and Dewhurst's Second Edition of Product Design for Manufacture and Assembly provides an accessible and reasonably thorough introductory treatment of some of the most common topics in the field of design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA). By introducing the theoretical underpinnings of DFMA in the opening chapter of the book, the authors provide context and support for the importance of the field in modern business, and draw attention to the many ancillary benefits of ...

Rating: - Electrical Engineering Student Review
While the book contains useful information, a great deal of it is available online in various places, though it is a good all inclusive reference. I think it will come in handy in the future as well as for the finer details of my Design for Manufacturability course. At times the content can be a bit dry, but that's to be expected from about any textbook.
I think that the section on B&D for Robotics is outdated and no longer "true" with todays technology. But if you're not using it for ... Read More
Rating:  - Great book
As an academician this book is easy to read but practitioners will have no diffculty in understanding the content of this book. I rate this book as a great book because of its practicality and yet it is theoretically sound.
Rating: - good methodology on how to re-engineer a product
Boothroyd and Dewhurst are recognized as international experts on the re-engineering of electro-mechanical products. Their methodology and guidelines have been widely documented to make significant savings. I have used their techniques with dozens of products in many companies in North America with vast improvement. I have also taught these techniques to many, many engineers who have had the same success.
The book is a good, comprehensive overview of designing products to ease thier assembly ... Read More
