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. 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 incorporated in this handbook makes it in invaluable tool for any product designer facing the challenges of our global plastics industry.
