Making it: Manufacturing Techniques for Product Design

There are many ways in which a product can be manufactured but most designers know only a handful of techniques. Both informative and incredibly easy to use, this bestselling book explains over 100 production methods in detail. With specially commissioned diagrams, case studies and step-by-step photographs of the manufacturing process, "Making It" uses contemporary design as a vehicle to describe production processes. It lists their pros and cons, suitable production volumes, costs involved, speed of production, relevant materials and typical applications. The new edition of this inspirational book also evaluates each process in terms of sustainability and its effects on the environment. "Making It" appeals not only to product designers but also to interior designers, furniture and graphic designers who need access to a range of production methods, as well as to all students of design. The expanded edition includes 9 new processes and an all-new section of 40 finishing techniques.

Someone turned me on to this book, it's a great primer for people who like to make things. Not only does it entroduce you to new manufacturing methods you may not have been aware of, it helps people think in terms of manufacturing at scale. Sure, you can 3D print a few pieces to sell, but that doesn't scale well if your market size is bigger than 10 people.

Some of the info seems to be not from first-hand knowledge and slightly incorrect, but over-all it's a great book and worth buying if you are an amature Maker.

A catalog of processes is essentially what this book is. It's broken into 7 process sections: Cut from Solid, Sheet, Continuous, Thin & Hollow, Into Solid, Complex and Advanced. Each section has from 6-20 subset processes, eg, 'Cut From Solid' includes CNC machining, Turning, etc., 'Into Solid' has Forging, Sintering, 'Thin and Hollow' processes such as Blow Molding, Filament Winding, etc. The range of processes seems quite comprehensive and includes some I'd never heard of before such as Inflating Metal under the Sheet section, which is basically using air to inflate sheets of metal in a mold.

Each process is typically described in 2-3 pages and follows a common layout. There's a picture of a typical item produced, some text describing the process, and an information section which includes economic production volume, type of surface and finish, and the typical sizes and tolerances of parts produced. This is followed by a '+' and '-' list of advantages and disadvantages of the particular process.

A Further Information section on each process lists web addresses of manufacturers who supply the process and/or provide more information on it. This is a great resource, but you do wonder--given the fluidity of the web--how long some of these addresses will be viable.

For the price this book is a great catalog of many of the manufacturing processes available. It doesn't go into any detail on how to design for the process (as a designer) or make it function (as a machinist/manufacturer), but it's a great reference as an overview of available processes, their benefits and limitations, and where to go to get more information.

I bought this book so that I could have a good reference book on manufacturing processes as I'm a design student, but as some other reviewer noticed it is not useful without some knowledge in the first place. While some of the processes explained have enough pictures, some have to few, or just the final product. I wouldn't have bought this one but rather "Manufacturing Processes for Design Professionals" now that I own the other one. At least for me I didn't yet found a book that would explain more of the traditional processes, I guess I'll dwell in the university library for some time as the specialized literature there though older could help me a lot more on this subject. But as for future technologies this book if fine enough I think, I found out things I wouldn't find in a library with literature from the '70s.

Really good, simple survey of realistic techniques, at a reasonable price. I am giving it less than full credit because it could have been more useful if it was just a bit more quantitative. But for a qualitative review of what each type of process does, it's great. Not a text on HOW to do these techniques however. It's sort of like a museum of manufacturing in book form.

This book will give you just enough information to spur your curiosity. It is easy to read, but is not a book that you would want if you are into the definitive ins and outs of a said procedure, such as injection molding or sintering. Please be aware that this book focuses on tastefully showing you the many different types of manufacturing techniques (not ALL of them of course) and the basics of their uses and applications. It is more of a reference book than anything else. Like I said, the depth of this book is just enough to help you understand the differences so that you will be able to make a better choice as to which manufacturing technique you would be better off using. More research into the choice you make from this reading will definitely benefit you. A couple of processes I know about were not in this book and a couple processes I didn't know about were in this book.

This is a very good book and because of it, I am going to have to read about 5-10 more books..

If you do not find this review helpful, please comment as to why. Thank you!
