The book comprehensively discusses principles, techniques, research activities,

applications and case studies of computer-aided design in a single volume.

The textbook will serve as ideal study material for undergraduate, and

graduate students in a multitude of engineering disciplines.

The book

* Discusses techniques for wireframe, surface and solid modelling including

practical cases and limitations.

* Each chapter contains solved examples and unsolved exercises.

* Includes research case studies and practical examples in enabling the

user to link academic theory to engineering practice.

* Highlights the ability to convert graphic to non-graphic information

such as in drawing up bills of materials in practice.

* Discusses important topics including constructive solid geometry,

Boolean operations on solid primitives and Boolean algebra.

This text covers different aspects of computer-aided design, from the basic

two-dimensional constructions through modifications, use of layers and

dimensioning to advanced aspects such as three-dimensional modelling and

customization of the package to suit different applications and disciplines.

It further discusses important concepts including orthographic projections,

isometric projections, 3D wireframe modelling, 3D surface modelling, solids

of extrusion and solids of revolution. It will serve as ideal study material

for undergraduate, and graduate students in the fields of mechanical engineering,

industrial engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, civil

and construction engineering, aerospace engineering and manufacturing

engineering.
