Advanced Manufacturing Processes

The field of manufacturing over the years has seen the introduction of new and innovative technologies for enhancing output, increasing quality and reducing material inventory. This textbook discusses fundamental concepts, principles, technologies and applications of advanced manufacturing processes. It comprehensively discusses key manufacturing technologies including reconfigurable manufacturing processes, computer integrated manufacturing processes, agile manufacturing processes, cellular manufacturing processes, rapid prototyping and flexible manufacturing processes.

This book:

• Discusses rapid prototyping techniques in detail
• Covers automation systems and their techniques
• Examines issues related to reconfigurable manufacturing processes, flexible manufacturing processes and agile manufacturing processes
• Discusses actuators and sensors, industrial robots, lean production, comparison of lean and agile and rapid prototyping techniques
• Covers matrix approach techniques to understand the barriers index value

The textbook is primarily written for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the field of mechanical engineering, industrial and production engineering.
