Little more than a decade ago computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) was a very esoteric field indeed, not one that was of much practical concern to a manager or industrialist unless his business was on the scale of, say, a major automobile manufacturer or in a field of high technology such as aerospace. Like so much else, this situation was revo lutionized by the invention of the silicon chip, the arrival of the micro processor and the dramatic fall in the cost of computer hardware. Today, CAD/CAM has spread down the market, and down the price scale, to the point at which it is both a feasible and an affordable technology for a wide range of small-and medium-sized companies in areas as various as architec ture and general engineering, plastic moulding and consumer electronics. But the explosion - there is no other word for it - in the variety and capabilities of CAD/CAM systems, and their spectacular climb to the top of the hi-tech hit parade, has placed the potential purchaser and user of the new technology in a difficult position. On the one hand he is assured, not least by the manufacturers of CAD/CAM equipment, that a failure to invest in it will leave his company stranded in the industrial Stone Age.

Providing an integrated presentation of the application of computers to product design and manufacture, this book concentrates on the theme that CAD/CAM involves the use of computers to create, manipulate and apply models of engineering products and systems. It guides the reader through the process of defining a product design with the aid of a computer, then developing manufacturing plans and instructions for the product from the design, and finally planning and controlling the operation of the manufacturing system itself. The book is intended for courses in mechanical and manufacturing systems, and industrial engineering that use CAD and CAM.

The subject “Computer-Aided Design” is basically meant for the application of computers to make engineering design and drawings more accurate, less time consuming, and increase productivity of designers involved in Civil, Mechanical, Architectural, Automobile engineering fields. The content of this book basically covers the topics related to fundamentals of Computer-Aided Design using software such as AutoCAD and SolidWorks 3D modeling. It consists of understanding and practicing basic 3D commands of both parametric and non-parametric environments of SolidWorks and AutoCAD respectively. The basics of graphic transformation with illustrative examples and exercises are also included as fundamental information of computer graphics. The information regarding various basic hardware devices is also included in order to highlight the CAD workstation requirements. The contents also highlight the step-by-step procedures to follow the command instructions to run the software on a more practical basis with illustrative examples and a case study. Overall I can conclude that all students pursuing their diploma programs and degree programs and practitioners involved in mechanical parts modeling, assembly modeling, engineering drawing, drafting, and designing can get benefited from the contents and sub-contents of the book.
