The First Snap-Fit Handbook
About this book
The First Snap-Fit Handbook: Creating and Managing Attachments for Plastics Parts, third edition, by Paul R. Bonenberger, was published by Hanser in 2016. The 412-page English technical book treats snap-fits as a system rather than a single hook detail: constraint, locating, locking, assembly, and common failure modes. Rewritten case histories, figures, and explanations are aimed at product designers who must create reliable plastic attachments without a specialist sitting beside them.

For students, it is a manufacturing-and-detailing reference that connects CAD form to how parts actually click together. It is useful in plastics courses, design for assembly, and any studio where housings, lids, and consumer products are specified. On a university reading list it belongs with materials and manufacturing and with professional practice in product design.
