Abstract

Material selection and design are integrated terms in the development of any product with a competitive cost. It is difficult to select appropriate material for any product design without having the knowledge on the importance of material selection in design. This chapter thus gives an overview on the new product development activities and some basic features of materials selection. Several new case concepts on the development of product are also introduced.
