  Manufacturing Technology, Volume 1 provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practice of engineering manufacturing processes. This third edition has been written, updated and expanded to reflect the current requirements of the Advanced GNVQ Engineering syllabus as well as BTEC NC/D engineering specifications. As such it also forms an ideal introduction to the subject for first-year degree courses in engineering.
  
  Topics covered include: alteration of shape, tooling, toolholding and workholding, kinematics of manufacturing equipment, computer numerical control (CNC), assembly, fabrication (including plastics), heat treatment, finishing, quality control, manufacturing relationships, and health and safety at work.
  
  This book leads the reader naturally onto the companion volume Manufacturing Technology, Volume 2, intended for those studying engineering manufacture at a more advanced level such as HNC/D and first/second-year engineering degree courses. The broad and in-depth coverage of this two-volume approach ensures that these texts not only satisfy the requirements of technician students up to the highest level but also provide an excellent technical background for undergraduates studying for a degree in mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering and combined engineering.

  The second edition of this textbook covers the main aspects of the manufacturing process within the engineering industry; from tooling and the alteration of shapes to the finishing process. It has been revised and updated to incorporate the recent BTEC syllabus changes, making this book useful reading for anyone studying manufacturing engineering. A series of exercises clarifies the central arguments allowing students to assess their own level of understanding and together with volume 2 these books provide comprehensive coverage of the subject for BTEC and HNC/HND students.
