Anyone know of a good book for manufacturing or industrial physics?

In summary, there are many reference books available for learning about manufacturing and industrial physics. However, the specific book will depend on the specific aspect of industry or manufacturing you are interested in, such as motion control or temperature control. Some fundamental topics to study include Newtonian rules, Laplace transforms for motion prediction, and electricity. Additionally, hydraulic and fluidic/pressure laws are important to understand. Some recommended reference books include "Machinery's Handbook", "Fluid Power Basics", and "Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers". These can be found at industrial supply companies such as MSC Direct and McMaster-Carr.

That question is too broad to really provide it depends on what you wish to manufacture or what aspect of industry your looking for as all industries and manufacturing use physics.
Are you looking for motion control, temperature control etc etc etc. Its doubtful you will find a single book that will cover all aspects of industry or manufacturing.
A couple of things are obvious they all involve force so study netwonian rules. Engineering math requires laptase transforms for motion prediction. All the above need a good comprehension of electricity. Those 3 aspects are fundamantal in most industries and manufacturing.

Edit forgot to add hydraulics and fluidic/pressure laws hope this helps at least it will get you started in some major areas of study for your question

1. What is the difference between manufacturing and industrial physics?

Manufacturing physics focuses on the fundamental principles and processes involved in producing goods on a large scale, while industrial physics applies these principles to design, optimize, and maintain industrial systems.

2. What are some popular books for learning about manufacturing or industrial physics?

Some popular books for learning about manufacturing physics include "Manufacturing Engineering and Technology" by Serope Kalpakjian and Steven Schmid, "Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing" by Mikell Groover, and "The Science and Engineering of Materials" by Donald R. Askeland and Pradeep Fulay.

3. Are there any books specifically focused on the physics of 3D printing?

Yes, "Additive Manufacturing Technologies: 3D Printing, Rapid Prototyping, and Direct Digital Manufacturing" by Ian Gibson, David Rosen, and Brent Stucker is a comprehensive guide to the physics and processes of 3D printing.

4. Can you recommend a book for understanding the physics of automation in manufacturing?

"Introduction to Automation for Manufacturing" by Mikell Groover and Roger Nagel is a popular textbook that covers the physics and principles behind automated manufacturing systems.

5. Are there any books that discuss the application of physics in the automotive manufacturing industry?

"Physics for Gearheads: An Introduction to Vehicle Dynamics, Energy, and Power - with Examples from Motorsports" by Randy Beikmann explores the physics behind automotive manufacturing processes and how these principles are applied in motorsports.
