The mold, die, and fixture industry supports sectors as diverse as automotive, aerospace, and medical manufacturing. In this book, Eduardo Medrano Escobar explains its fundamentals and examines the present and future of an industry that is strategic to Mexican manufacturing.
Over six chapters, the author explores the challenges facing companies and workshops amid technological transformation, global supply chains, and the need to deliver high-quality products on time. His approach emphasizes cooperation, workforce training, and the strengthening of local suppliers.
Interviews with industry leaders, success stories, and a guide to developing a competitive workshop round out this overview. The ABC of Tooling offers practical information for both established business owners and those seeking to enter a growing industry.
Eduardo Medrano is a one-of-a-kind Mexican—the mold was broken after he was made. Always mindful of the world around him, he has devoted his life to the development of his country. A tireless advocate for advancing Mexican industry through better education, he also promotes technology as a means of positioning Mexico among the world’s leaders in sustainable manufacturing. A musician at heart, he has applied the mathematical principles of music to mechanical engineering, turning his life into a powerful harmony between dreams and reality. —Eduardo Tovar, Publisher of Modern Machine Shop México
