5.0 out of 5 stars
Good Intro Book on Composites Mfg.,
This review is from: Fundamentals of Composites Manufacturing: Materials, Methods, and Applications (Hardcover)
This was a good book on introducing me to composites manufacturing without the technical aspect. Don't buy this book if that is what you are looking for. It is a great starter book for those with little to no technical or engineering training. I have an engineering education but no training in composites and I really enjoyed reading this book as my intro to the subject. Good buy.
