Product Description
There are many different ways in which a product can be manufactured, but most designers probably know only a handful of techniques in any detail. Using contemporary design as a vehicle to describe production processes, this book covers a broad range of almost 90 production methods with descriptive text, specially commissioned diagrams, product shots, and photographs of the manufacturing process. It will appeal not only to product designers involved in lighting, consumer electronics, packaging, domestic accessories and tableware, but also to interior designers, furniture and graphic designers who need access to a range of production methods, as well as to all students of design. |

great infos by Jeremy Petrus (Montreal, canada)  5 Stars
November 25, 2009
All of Lefteri's books are great, i have the one on plastics
and now this one. So my review is of course positive.
Without getting into details, this book is fresh, with
up to date references and nice examples.
As a designer, its a tool but also fun to read.
Enjoy and keep it simple.

Great book by Migo A (Calgary, AB, Canada) 5 Stars
October 21, 2008
The book is great for people who are interested (or involved) in the manufacturing or production of goods. As an Industrial Designer, I'm taught a lot of the processes, but it's still great to have a book like this one handy for any project.
However, it does not delve very deep into each process, instead it gives a brief 1-2 page summary of each method. The part that I like, however, is that it includes things like the suggested appropriate quantity of production for each process, as well as the pros and cons of each.

Awesome, a top buy by Alex (Australia) 5 Stars
September 22, 2008
I bought this book from Swipe Books in Toronto because I actually got the chance to read through it and I saw how awesome it was. When I got back to Australia it got to the stage where so many people were borrowing "Making It" from me that I've bought them all their own copies. It's an awesome book, an unbelievable snap shot on every type of manufacturing process out there and why you would use one instead of another. For anyone studying or in ID, just buy it, you won't regret it and will no doubt have to buy your mates a copy because you get sick of them borrowing it too.
