Features: This book is based on manufacturing technology and systematically elaborates on the composition, characteristics, and applications of modern manufacturing systems. The book consists of 8 chapters, introducing engineering materials and their forming processes, forming processes for parts, special machining, rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing technology, mechatronics, computer-aided design and manufacturing, automated production systems, and production system operations, among other topics. Compared to the corresponding specialized textbooks for each of the above chapters, this book features basic and accessible content, a broad scope, extensive information, and clear explanations, making it highly adaptable, practical, and advanced. The book progresses through material recognition and selection, blanking and part forming methods, advanced manufacturing technology, modern management concepts, product production processes, energy development, and environmental protection, covering fields such as manufacturing, management, medicine, materials, new processes, new technologies, and new equipment, aiming to provide readers with a comprehensive engineering context. The book has distinctive features in content selection, organization, and structure. It can serve as a textbook and teaching reference for students in engineering disciplines at universities, as well as for some science, liberal arts, and medical students. It is also suitable for students in vocational colleges, correspondence education, evening schools, correspondence courses, online universities, and higher vocational education programs. However, it is not intended as self-study material for industrial enterprises and business and trade management personnel to understand manufacturing systems or for engineering technicians to undergo refresher training.
