Purchase options and add-ons

Retaining its unique and much praised organization, this leading text has been revised to reflect the most recent developments in design tools. It provides balanced coverage of relevant fundamentals and real-world practices so that students, apprentices and on-the-job professionals can understand the important and often complex interrelationships between die design and the economic factors involved in manufacturing sheet-metal forming products. Following introductory material and a discussion of 20 types of dies in Chapter 2, the design process of a representative die is separated into seventeen distinct chapters. Each chapter is one step which is illustrated in two ways; first, as a portion of an engineering drawing, that is, as the component is actually drawn on the design. Second, the die design is shown pictorially in order to improve the user’s visualization. In successive sections each step is detailed as it is applied to the design of the various types of dies listed in Chapter 2.  
Features
 
  • Includes English and Metric systems.
  • Covers new methods of producing blanks, such as waterjet cutting and laser cutting.
  • Contains a glossary of terms for the first time.
  • Illustrates each step in pictorial view and as a portion of an engineering drawing.
  • Offers a completely revised chapter on presses and quick die-changing systems and includes the addition of “Quick Die Change Systems".

    If you are looking to stamp sheet metal this seems to be a great book.

    I am about halfway through and enjoying reading it. I feel like I have a great concept of how my die will look and have started on a 3d model for it.

    It gives many calculations and standard value charts. For example, you can calculate the sheering force required for about 10 different metal types based on the perimeter of your cut and thickness of metal. This is useful when deciding to buy a press.

    I have minimal machining experience, mostly self taught, and this book opens up the process of creating a die extremely well. I have only gotten through a few chapters but the illustrations are very good, the text is easy to follow and clear.

    Great book, from my admittedly novice point of view... but I have learned a lot.. and thats the point of this book.

'Chapter 5: Fourteen Steps To Design A Die' provides excellent yet fundamental details towards die design. There is definitely no regret from buying this book.

    Very good book for a beginner in this field, It helps you to understand the main elements for making a forming die, But it is not enough for a professional to design one.
