✦ Synopsis
205᎐215 of this paper identified a need for a methodology to help to create selection procedures for specific manufacturing tasks, where the material and processing operation have, to some extent, already been defined. This paper develops such a methodology, and its aims are twofold: firstly to guide the designer through defining the requirements of the design and identifying the attributes of the relevant subset of processes which must be Ž considered; secondly to lead the designer through an evaluation of a design considering both technical viability including the . product quality during processing and in the finished part , and economic viability. A critical development in this work is the incorporation of process modelling into the selection procedure, as a tool for capturing the coupling of material and process characteristics which govern whether the processing and performance targets can be met.
