The system level knowledge and design skills needed to create good snap-fit interfaces existed in the minds of self-taught snap-fit experts but was not captured in the literature.New designers of plastic parts wishing to use snap-fit had nowhere to turn unless they were fortunate enough to have access to an experienced snap-fit designer. This book organizes and presents all design aspects of snap-fits with an emphasis on the systems level thinking required to create world-class attachments. Beginning, as well as experienced, product designers will find the information they need to develop snap-fits more efficiently and avoid many common snap-fit problems.

limited unique ideas, poor illustrations, free elsewhere,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The First Snap-Fit Handbook 2E: 'Creating and Managing Attachments for Plastics Parts (Hardcover)
I was really disappointed in this book for two major reasons... First, despite its many pages, it really only contains about 10 unique "mechanical" ideas. And the bulk of the remaining space is dedicated to over-analyzing the theory of each design, and the math of why they work. I think most designers would see the analysis a superfluous, a discussion on what most would consider to be mechnical common sense. But what really irritated me about this book is that after spending a sizable amount of money on it, I discovered that it can be viewed in its entirely for free via Google-books.

This review is from: The First Snap-Fit Handbook 2E: 'Creating and Managing Attachments for Plastics Parts (Hardcover)
I found it to be a great book for technical stuff. I'm new to constructing and engineering and have never finished it in University and just had to take over someone's place at a job. But I have to say that I was dissapointed only at one thing: It does have a vast variety of different Snap-fits but I was hoping that I could find a table with all possible snap fits in it. Like for example I found a few snap fits that are not listen in the book but I still have to say that is is quite an excellent book. It would be great to have a very large table of all possible snap fits at the back and some data.
