Product Design for Manufacture and Assembly

by Geoffrey Boothroyd, Peter Dewhurst, Winston A. Knight

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.

this book has really practical instructions for assembly design... but some parts of the book are not that much useful (at least for me!)
As a reference it is a great book, I loved it :)

Some parts on practical processes are excellent. Other parts are worthless. I use it a lot on a continuous basis
