Publisher's Synopsis
Zeid's Mastering CAD/CAM provides a modern, comprehensive overview of computer-aided design and manufacturing. This new text is designed to be more student-oriented than the author's previous book, CAD/CAM: Theory & Practice (1991), and covers important new developments such as solid modeling and parametric modeling. Taking a "generic" approach, the author provides coverage applicable to all current CAD and CAM products. Parts I and II of the book survey CAD/CAM basics and geometric modeling considerations, and Part III surveys computer graphics essentials. Parts IV and V outline the role of CAD/CAM in product design & development, and product management & manufacturing.The topic coverage is supported throughout with numerous applied examples, cases and problems.
