Recently, many new technologies have been developed for engineers to
reduce the time required to design and manufacture products in response
to rapidly fluctuating market demands. This book addresses a variety of
contemporary methodologies, technologies and tools for rapid response
manufacturing. The contributions to this volume focus on two major RRM
areas: desktop manufacturing and computer and information technologies.
Rapid Response Manufacturing is an invaluable resource for research
engineers, product design and manufacturing engineers, graduate
engineering students, and all those concerned with concurrent
engineering.
