Materials and Design: The Art and Science of Material Selection in
Product Design, Second Edition, discusses the role of materials and
processes in product design. The book focuses on the materials that
designers need, as well as on how and why they use them. The book’s
10 chapters cover topics such as function and personality, factors
influencing product design, the design process, materials selection,
and case studies in materials and design. Appendices for each chapter
provide exercises for readers, along with detailed charts of technical
attributes of different materials for reference.
This book will be particularly useful to both students and working

concepts. Working designers can use the book as a reference source for
materials and manufacturing.
