Series: Plastics Design Library

Designing Successful Products with Plastics: Plastic Part Design with Sustainability in Mind, Second Edition provides expert insights into the design considerations required to bring a concept product or part through design and ready-for-production. Rather than focusing on design rules and engineering equations used during product development, the emphasis of the book is on what the designer needs to consider during the early conceptual visualization stages, and in the detailed stages of the design process. This fully updated edition features new practical advice on how to design sustainably throughout the book.

This approach will bridge the gap between the industrial designer, tasked with the ‘big picture’ product design and use, and the part designer, tasked with the detailed plastic part design for manufacture. Useful to both experienced and novice designers, this book brings valuable design process information through specific examples, enabling designers and engineers in the plastics industry to effectively use the available technical information to successfully design and manufacture new products.
