This book is carefully targeted toward today’s students. It is a balanced (CAD and CAM) text with up to date information on rapid prototyping, NT-based solid modeling systems and Web-related issues, all hot topics. Complicated mathematical terminology is kept to a minimum; instead, the concepts are explained in as intuitive a way as possible. Students are required to have a background only in programming, calculus, and matrix and vector algebra. The book is on the leaner side as the author feels that too many texts obscure the fundamental concepts with too many details.

An Introduction to CAD/CAM/CAE is a timely text with coverage of many modern topics, including: rapid prototyping, virtual engineering, NT-based solid modeling systems, and Web-related issues. This book provides balanced coverage of CAD/CAM (with slightly more emphasis on CAD topics) and bonus coverage of computer-aided engineering (CAE). This book's emphasis on the integration of three related disciplines-CAD, CAM, and CAE-makes it a great theoretical introduction to all subjects from geometric representation to the most sophisticated CAE subjects. Many illustrations and references ground the theory in practical examples.
The book also features a unique illustration of the whole product development process through a practical case study that gives readers a clear idea how CAD, CAM, and CAE systems are integrated to accelerate the product development process.
This book is carefully targeted toward today's students; topics are introduced in a concise, efficient manner, with mathematical terminology that is kept to a minimum. A background in programming, calculus, and matrix and vector algebra is helpful when using this text.
