Every designer need one of this as a quick reference gide.

Its like a dream!from business aspects, manufacturing process and material selection, design process, drafting, computer graphic guide, 3D modelling, ergonomics (completely illustrated as well), and of course mechanical, electronics, many more!its a reference book that I just have to carry everywhere6 x 8.5 inch size, small enough to bring everywhere I go, EASY READ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Always good to get a library of useful books for your interests. Having a design degree, this helps to add insights about how other products were designed with the user in mind and scale. Lots of good information.

This is a great reference book for product designers. Not sure that it has everything a product designer would need, but definitely covers a lot of information including materials, methods, etc.

I am an industrial design student and purchased this Industrial Design Reference book to learn more about Industrial Design. The book contains lots of great and useful information! From manufacturing techniques to materials. I was very pleased with the purchase of this book and will definitely have this book handy throughout my studies as an ID student!

Focuses a lot on technical aspects over design principals and thinking.Good reference book but by no means a stand alone on industrial design

This is the book I've been waiting for. Great reference material on topics ranging from ergonomics to material selection and even electronics. Simple, straightforward explanations and information. Bonus points for including a glossary. I recommend it to all design students and design professionals. Design professors: Make this a required text!!

This book has been very helpful for me. I have been working for 6 years now and this book still is able to provide me value with the information it has provided. It is definitely a great source of information and references that I use throughout my work.
