Clips new releases Manufacturing Processes and Materials, Fifth
Edition Since publication of the first edition in 1961,
instructors, students, and practitioners have relied on
Manufacturing Processes and Materials for the foundational
knowledge needed to perform in manufacturing roles across a myriad
of industries. Now in its fifth edition, the book covers the basic
processes, materials, and machinery used in the job shop, tool
room, or small manufacturing facility. At the same time, it
describes advanced equipment used in larger production
environments. The reader is given a thorough review of metals,
composites, plastics, and other engineering materials, including
their physical properties, testing, treatment, and suitability for
use in manufacturing. Quality, measurement and gaging, process
planning and cost analysis, and manufacturing systems are all
addressed. Questions and problems at the end of each chapter can be
used as a self-test or as assignments in the classroom. SME, 2015,

BK14PUB1 Foundations of Manufacturing This video series is designed
to reinforce foundational concepts essential to understanding the
broader scope of manufacturing. Ideally suited for corporate
training, colleges, universities, and other education providers,
these programs will bring to life preparatory material in a clear,
concise, and easy to follow format. The first in the series is the
three-program, Basic Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, which
includes the programs below. Product ID: PK15PUB4 Rules and
Concepts Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is an
engineering language that uses symbols and modifiers to clearly
communicate design requirements on mechanical drawings. By using
GD&T, a print can explicitly call out necessary tolerances in
an unambiguous fashion. Using shop floor footage and animations to
illustrate examples, this program introduces the viewer to GD&T
rules and concepts. The 14 symbols used in GD&T are highlighted
with examples to define their use. These symbols are organized into
five categories: form symbols, profile symbols, orientation
symbols, location symbols, and runout symbols. Product ID: DV15PUB1
Form Controls & Datums Datums are reference measurement
surfaces, planes, or points from which other part features are
measured. By using the 14 geometric characteristic symbols, along
with datum references, the functional requirements of a part or
assembly can be effectively communicated. This program focuses
solely on the form symbols: straightness, flatness, circularity,
and cylindricity. The proper identification and usage of datums in
GD&T is explored. Product ID: DV15PUB2 Future Relationship In
this program, the ten remaining geometric characteristic symbols
and their categories (profile symbols, orientation symbols,
location symbols, and runout symbols) are examined in greater
detail using demonstrative examples to clarify their use. Product
