The designer will also find valuable advice on resin and tool selection and processing parameters that allow fast and successful product development and manufacture. Thousands of hours of research and cross referencing have gone into the completion of this work. In addition, the hands-on knowledge of a plastics expert with more than 35 years experience is incorporated. This handbook was written for the injection molding product designer who has a limited knowledge of engineering polymers. It is a guide for the designer to decide which resin and design geometries to use for the design of plastic parts. It can also offer knowledgeable advice for resin and machine selection and processing parameters. Manufacturer and end user satisfaction is the ultimate goal. This book is an indispensable, all inclusive, reference guide. New illustrations, graphs and equations have been included to provide additional clarity for complex ideas "This indispensable, all inclusive reference guide to plastic part design is compiled with the product designer in mind, who is looking for more detailed information on plastic resins, the rules and geometries underlying their use in product, design, and the advantages and limitations of their use in industrial applications. The designer will also find valuable advice on resin and tool selection and processing parameters that will allow fast and successful product development and manufacture."--BOOK JACKET Plastic materials are the ultimate tribute to man's creativity and inventiveness.
