This auction includes two books on the subject of product design and manufacturing;
The first book is;
Concurrent Design of Products, Manufacturing Processes and Systems Automation & Production Systems by Ben Wang

(the shadow on the cover of both books in picture #1 is just me taking a picture of them)

This covers;
Methods presented involve the use of simulation and modeling tools and virtual workstations in conjunction with a design environment. This allows a diverse group of researchers, manufacturers, and suppliers to work within a comprehensive network of shared knowledge. The design environment consists of engineering workstations and servers and a suite of simulation, quantitative, computational, analytical, qualitative and experimental tools. Such a design environment will allow the effective and efficient integration of complete product design, manufacturing process design, and customer satisfaction predictions.
This volume enables the reader to create an integrated concurrent engineering design and analysis infrastructure through the use of virtual workstations and servers; provide remote, instant sharing of engineering data and resources for the development of a product, system, mechanism, part, business and/or process, and develop applications fully compatible with international CAD/CAM/CAE standards for product representation and modeling.

The second included book is;
Product Design for Manufacture and Assembly (2nd edition, revised and expanded) by Boothroyd, Dewhurst and Knight
Containing more than 300 equations and the extensive data necessary to estimate manufacturing and assembly cost during product design, benchmarking, and "should cost" analysis, this textbook gives students modern and effective tools for analyzing injection molding, sheet metalworking, die casting, powder metal processing costs, sand and investment casting, and hot forging. It includes discussions of the influence of the application of design for manufacture and assembly, material selection and economic ranking of processes, the effect of reduced assembly difficulties on product quality, the links between computer-aided design solid models and design analysis tools, and more.
