Imagine, Design, Create offers a wide-ranging look at how the creative process and the tools of design are dramatically changing-and where design is headed in the coming years. Bringing together stories of good design happening around the world, the book shows how people are using fresh design approaches and new capabilities to solve problems, create opportunities, and improve the way we live and work.From the impact of SOM's Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland to the spark that inspired Thomas Heatherwick's U.K. Pavilion in Shanghai; from the new processes fueling Zaha Hadid's extraordinary architecture to the digital tools Ford is using to transform car design, each of these stories explores questions that swirl around the idea of design. How does design change our lives for the better? How is our capacity to produce good design evolving? How will the next generation of designers work? What will they make? What new areas of human experience is design opening for us? Now that designers can do almost anything-what should they do?

Prepare yourself: How things are made is changing. The digital and physical are uniting, from innovative methods to sense and understand our world to machines that learn and design in ways no human ever could; from 3D printing to materials with properties that literally stretch possibility; from objects that evolve to systems that police themselves. The results will radically change our world-and ourselves.The Future of Making illustrates these transformations, showcasing stories and images of people and ideas at the forefront of this radical wave of innovation. Designers, architects, builders, thought leaders-creators of all kinds-have contributed to this look at the materials, connections, and inventions that will define tomorrow. But this book doesn't just catalog the future; it lays down guidelines to follow, new rules for how things are created, that make it the ultimate handbook for anyone who wants to embrace the true future of making.

Time is a great mystery. A changeable element, which expands or vanishes, but that appears concrete as it is marked by the passing of seconds, minutes, hours, days, and years. The path toward the capture of minutes and seconds coincided with the phases of scientific evolution that allowed man to manufacture watches that are increasingly reliable, but that are also in tune with changes in customs, social needs, and aesthetic canons. This book covers the art of watch manufactory as well as 60 great models, covering both their technical evolution and style trends. In each chapter in-depth studies will guide the reader to the history of the most important manufacturers, the personalities linked to the models treated, technical innovations, styles of the period, or records achieved by the wristwatches: from the watch that helped Charles Lindbergh during the first transatlantic solo flight, to the one worn by Sir Edmund Hillary on the top of Mount Everest, the most iconic models will be discussed in detail.

1929 entdeckte der Schweizer Bildhauer, Erfinder und Forscher Paul¿Schatz (1898-1971) die geometrische Form des Oloids.¿Schatz' Lebenswerk war geprägt von diesem fundamental neuen, aus der Bewegung entstandenen Körper, für den er immer neue und wegweisende Anwendungen fand. Diese bildstarke und allgemeinverständliche Monografie zeigt das zeitlos schöne Oloid als Inspirationsquelle und funktionales Element, heute mehr denn je zuvor.Das gilt für die bildenden Künsten und im Design, in Technik und Forschung, in der Architektur, der Philosophie oder der Musik. Enge ästhetische Bezüge zur Bildhauerei von Zeitgenossen Paul Schatz' wie Naum Gabo, Constantin Brancusi oder Henry Moore überraschen ebenso wie die heutige Hommage auf ihn durch Künstler wie Ólafur Elíasson. Das Oloid erweist sich als universeller Körper, der - so schlicht wie komplex, zugleich elegant und kraftvoll - noch nicht alle seine Geheimnisse und Potenziale offenbart hat.Mit Beiträgen von Dirk Böttcher, Andreas Chiquet, Heinrich Frontzek, Felix M. Hediger, Gerhard Heid, Tobias Langscheid, Vera Kopppehel, Walter Kugler, Matthias Mochner, Christoph Müller, Oliver Niewiadomski, Beate Oberdorfer und Tilo Richter sowie historischen Texten von Lucius Burckhardt und Paul Schatz.

Material removal operations are among the most expensive; in the U.S. alone, more than $100 billion were spent on machining in 1999. These high costs put tremendous economic pressures on production managers and engineers as they struggle to find ways to increase productivity.Machining recommendations provided in this book cover turning since it allows removing more material per unit of time and consuming more power at the roughing operations than end milling, boring or drilling. Machining recommendations relate to cutting speeds, feed rates, and depth of cuts. Such recommendations depend on the workpiece material properties and the cutting tool material. Workpiece materials described in this book are the most commonly used grades of carbon, alloy, stainless, tool, and maraging steels. Cutting tool materials are cemented carbides, cermets, and ceramics.Describes hardness, tensile strength, and machinability of steels-the major mechanical properties. These properties are taken into consideration when selecting machining parameters.Features machining recommendations for turning that provide the cutting speed values based on Brinell hardness numbers, the depth of cut, and feed rate in relationships with the type of steel. Summarizes numerous calculations in five appendices.

An in-depth compilation of the workings of more than 1,500 manufacturing processes in the metalworking, chemical, textile, plastic, ceramic, electronic, wood, and food industries, this work also explains how more than 600 important products, components, and materials are made.

Explains how to choose the best processing method, what fastening or joining methods can be used, and how to use the characteristics of a plastic to judge its suitability for an application. Covers all major contemporary molding processes. Discusses, in detail, important topics such as surface finish and special effects.

The goal of the book is to assist the designer in the development of parts that are functional, reliable, manufacturable, and aesthetically pleasing. Since injection molding is the most widely used manufacturing process for the production of plastic parts, a full understanding of the integrated design process presented is essential to achieving economic and functional design goals. Features over 425 drawings and photographs.
