"Instructing readers on both basic and complex drawing techniques, Engineering Drawing and Product Manufacturing Information With 3D Models is an instructive reference to 3D computer modelling and design in modern industry. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the use of 3D Computer aided Design (CAD) models for communicating design intent, mainly through the adoption of International Standards Organisation (ISO) methods for describing shape and for depicting dimensions and tolerances on drawing sheets or in other Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) based media. It describes the fundamentals of computer numerical control (CNC) and the generation of 3D printing and additive manufacturing models as well as basic fabrication specifications. Common file types used to store, share and transfer media are described in some depth. Engineering Drawing and Product Manufacturing Information With 3D Models will be of interest to students and engineers working with 3D models, in fields including, but not limited to, mechanical, electrical, industrial and biomedical engineering, along with materials and computer science"-- Provided by publisher.
