Tool design

"Tool design" as a book category covers the principles, methods, and practical guidance for creating tools and tooling systems used to manufacture, assemble, service, or measure products. Titles in this category typically address the full lifecycle of tools—hand tools, cutting tools, jigs, fixtures, dies, molds, gauges and automated tooling—including material selection, strength and wear considerations, ergonomics and safety, CAD/CAM and simulation, prototyping, and maintenance. Books may range from textbook-style treatments of engineering theory and standards to applied handbooks with design calculations, industry case studies, best practices for cost and quality optimization, and step-by-step procedures for shop-floor implementation. The audience spans mechanical and manufacturing engineers, tooling designers, technicians, and students seeking both foundational knowledge and practical solutions for designing robust, economical, and producible tools.
