Manufacturing and Design presents a fresh view on the world of industrial production: thinking in terms of both abstraction levels and trade-offs. The book invites its readers to distinguish between what is possible in principle for a certain process (as determined by physical law); what is possible in practice (the production method as determined by industrial state-of-the-art); and what is possible for a certain supplier (as determined by its production...
Description
The sheet of paper this text is printed on is about 100,000 nanometres thick, and one hair on your head is about 50,000 nanometres wide. In our everyday experience, these are some of the smallest objects we are able to see and feel, but compared to the nanoscale, they are colossal. The nanoscale describes the dimension between 1 and 100 nanometres - in terms of objects, between a sugar molecule and an influenza virus. Nanotechnology tries to understand...
Description
Advanced Manufacturing takes a step beyond our Manufacturing Technology series, and provides an in-depth view of processes and systems. Quality and increased productivity are emphasized as the viewer sees materials transformed into finished product during the manufacturing process. Computer integrated manufacturing and its continuing influence on manufacturing and the workplace is also discussed. A Meridian Production.
Description
In this episode we visit the home of the future, a place where automation, robotics and connectivity combine to create an easier and more sustainable life for its human inhabitants. From personal robots, to indoor hydroponic gardens, electronics companies are competing to find the most intuitive solutions to automating household chores. This episode also explores advances in technology in the motoring world, such as drones that give drivers advance...
Description
In this program, we will explore the advances in civil engineering throughout human history. Topics include: irrigation channels of the River Nile, Petra, Roman architecture and roads, Hadrian's Wall, the Great Wall of China, and Incan roads. Bridges, freeways, airports, canals, tunnels, railways, and other civil engineering infrastructures are also introduced.

In this video, designers discuss problems they faced and solutions they found in the Ford Ka with the Ford Design Team; the Mekong wheelchair by Motivation; Rolls-Royce shaft engine by Geoff Wilde and Rob Howe; RAC control center by Nicholas Grimshaw; ATMs by the NCR design team; and fashion with Ally Cappellino.
Description
Exploring the first powered looms through to graphic design and fiber optics, this video takes viewers on a journey through the innovations across the design and textile industry. It looks at how the industry has pushed its way into the 21st century by keeping up with trends and consumer demand. It discusses changes in fashion, interiors, and textiles and technological developments within the realm of design that have led to a more efficient and innovative...
Description
Structural engineers have created a new construction method that makes buildings more structurally sound and able to withstand an earthquake with little to no damage. To test it, they then deisgned a "shake table" that simulates some of the strongest earthquakes possible, and watched what happened to the house on top of it.
Description
What forces are structural materials subjected to? How do materials behave under load? How suitable are they for particular uses? And how are key properties of materials determined? This program examines forces in action, discussing translational and rotational forces and looking at cantilevers. It explains how to measure the properties of materials and looks at stress/strain graphs, Young's modulus, and brittle and ductile materials. It also discusses...
