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.
