The book highlights the crucial role of
materials selection in designing and
manufacturing high-quality products that
perform optimally and cost-effectively. In
the modern era, engineering design
processes are heavily reliant on
computer-aided technology, which is
often integrated with material design and
the selection of the most suitable
manufacturing processes. Throughout human history, we have
witnessed significant advancements in our quality of life and
production capacity, often triggered by the emergence of new
materials with properties better aligned to the evolving needs of
consumers. Similarly, the development of new manufacturing
technologies has also played a critical role in driving progress.
Given this historical precedent, it is clear that the future of markets
and products will continue to depend on materials science and
engineering. As consumer needs become more sophisticated,
manufacturers must strive to innovate by designing and utilizing
materials that are perfectly matched to these evolving needs.
Consequently, it is likely that the development of new materials,
coupled with advancements in manufacturing technologies, will
continue to drive progress and enhance our quality of life for
generations to come.
