 A "must have" for design/manufacturing engineers Feb 12, 2000
By Blaine Lilly
I teach Product Design Engineering at Ohio State and I can honestly say that Bralla is absolutely the best single reference for working designers and manufacturing engineers that I've found. An incredible compendium of useful info on just about any manufacturing process you can think of, and plenty you HAVEN'T thought of, plus chapters on Design for Assembly, materials, economic considerations - you name it. The book is a bit pricey, but considering the amount of useful information packed into it, it's a steal. Bralla far exceeds McGraw-Hill's regrettably low standards for their handbooks - this one is a keeper!

 A good starting point Mar 30, 2008
By Nicholas Ellson
The book provides a good starting point for design, especially for new engineers. Much of the content is `common sense' to those with experience. It covers many topics, but none in significant depth. I have yet to find a real alternative to talking to machine shops, but with the help of this text you may at least be on the same wavelength. Most people buying this will be doing it with their company's money - in saved time it is definitely worth it.
Industrial Design Professor Mar 06, 2012
By BryceBeamer
From my experiences at Philadelphia University teaching design, prototyping and manufacturing, this book is a great reference for industrial designers. As other reviewers have noted it is a bit pricey even used and that is probably because only a fool would sell it back. The chapter/section numbering system can be a little tough for a newbie to grasp straight away. This makes the index a bit harder to use however, the key to this book is the content it delivers. I recommend getting a copy in every course I teach.
p.s. I have not yet evaluated the kindle version.
A all in one design bible Feb 01, 2011
By Sébastien Industrial Design Student
First of all as a second year student in industrial design, I was looking to get an easy to read AND complete manual on overall design. I was ready to buy as many books as needed to have my own ressources on many design tolerences and ways to build... Let just say that my teachers only had that book in mind, with an impressive library collection. Every single one of them went direcly to that one for everything, then and only then they would search on a more precise book. It happened once.
For my part it's a very easy to use and quite complete book on every topic I can think of, from metals to plastics... at that price don't look away! So far I've never needed anything else, but when I'll work with SPECIFIC plastics I may look for a specialized document.

Design handbook Oct 17, 2007
By Andreanne Leboeuf
Great book for any junior designer in or fresh out of school, lots of important informations on manufacturing processes and there design guide lines. Includes lots of tolerance charts (metric and imperial)and information on various material: form metal to plastics. The biggest weakness is the lack of information on the latest technologies (laser cutting, water cutting and prototyping). Still its a must
