Sheet Metal Forming Processes and Die Design

good thanks!

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.

Great book. I would highly recommend it. I've used it as a reference for several of my own engineering projects. Excellent informative layouts from chapter to chapter. This book is a must if you are in sheet metal industry.

This book will only be useful for someone who already has had professional experience with metal working, design, and manufacturing. I would not recommend this book if you are just getting started and would like to find out more info, over all a lot of info but only useful if you are a teacher or a professional already.

Would buy again.

Having worked in industry for nearly fourteen years, I am genuinely impressed with this book as it is written for a wide audience, such as the practicing Engineer, Applications Technician, or Tool and Die Maker. There are numerous illustrations to support the mathematics utilized to calculate and plan for shearing forces, punch clearances, material formability, and die design just to name a few. Furthermore, the book would serve as an excellent working reference for any professional in the manufacturing sector as the author gets right to the point of each topic without an overwhelming amount of theory. In addition, the appendix includes a great overview of limits and fits tolerancing, related material standards, a GD&T memory jogger, and unit conversions. It?s almost a steal for the price.

With over 30 years of my engineering experience I can say that this book is very good! It covers a lot of things related to the die design (blanking, bending, material economy, deep drawing tooling design) and it is definitely great addition to my library. Book is very ease to read and understand. Very practical design and layout as well.

I consider that the book presents in way simple many aspects of help practice, so much stops professional people or it stops people that recently intrude in the field of doubled of metals.
