Fundamentals of Plastics Thermoforming

Beschreibung

This second edition serves as a foundational guide to plastics thermoforming, covering the essential topics of the industry today. The authors take a process application approach to the topic, rather than focusing on theory. The book explains materials and processes, as well as part and tool design. This second edition includes thorough discussion of green plastics within an expanded chapter on environmental issues. The authors also cover quality control, which is critical to any operation. The book provides information about actual products and processes with the intent of understanding practical issues in the industry, which makes the book a valuable resource for students and professionals in the field of thermoforming, including manufacturing, managers, process engineers, and quality engineers. This second edition expands upon the original book and brings it up to date with additional data and key updates.
