The manufacturing industry will reap significant benefits from encouraging the development of digital manufacturing science and technology. Digital Manufacturing Science uses theorems, illustrations and tables to introduce the definition, theory architecture, main content, and key technologies of digital manufacturing science.
Readers will be able to develop an in-depth understanding of the emergence and the development, the theoretical background, and the techniques and methods of digital manufacturing science. Furthermore, they will also be able to use the basic theories and key technologies described in Digital Manufacturing Science to solve practical engineering problems in modern manufacturing processes.
Digital Manufacturing Science is aimed at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, academic researchers and researchers in the manufacturing industry. It allows readers to integrate the theories and technologies described with their own research works, and to propose new ideas and new methods to improve the theory and application of digital manufacturing science.

From the reviews:

"Digital manufacturing (DM) encompasses the manufacturing process, related technologies, customer demand, product design, and quality. This book defines DM as a science, presenting various theoretical systems of this science. ... It could serve as a textbook for a graduate- or undergraduate-level course in DM science. It could also be very useful for researchers looking to obtain foundational information on DM science. Its many block diagrams explain the concepts of DM science." (Maulik A. Dave, ACM Computing Reviews, August, 2012)
