ADVANCED MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY 3/e, a textbook, consists of three parts: the first part introduces the roles of computers and the World Wide Web (www) in manufacturing; the second part covers CAD/CAM, numerical control, flexible manufacturing, computer integrated manufacturing and high speed machining; the third part incorporates some state-of-the-art manufacturing technology including agile manufacturing, 3D printing, green manufacturing, nanotechnology & micro/nano fabrication and biofabrication. The most important goal of this book is to provide an undergraduate textbook featuring a combination of research advances with manufacturing production, with additional aims to motivate and challenge students This textbook is especially suitable for the undergraduate curriculum of mechanical engineering.
