Instructing readers on both basic and complex drawing techniques, Engineering Drawing and Product Manufacturing Information with 3D Models is an instructive reference to the use of 3D computer models 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 Organization (ISO) methods for describing shapes and for depicting dimensions and tolerances on drawing sheets or other product manufacturing information–based (PMI) 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.
Frank Mill is the Emeritus Professor of Digital Design at the University of Edinburgh, where he has taught manufacturing modelling subjects for over 40 years. He is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers as well as a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (Advance HE). He holds a first-class honours degree in production engineering and a PhD in shape optimization. His teaching is based on his practical experience working as a support engineer for a leading CAD company as well as his design consultancy work for many engineering customers and his personal research in 3D modelling applications in manufacturing. He has taught undergraduate courses in engineering drawing, computer-aided design, manufacturing systems, digital manufacturing, product data management and engineering management as well as postgraduate courses in innovation and enterprise and in advanced 3D modelling.
Frank is a director of ShapeSpace Ltd, a company dedicated to providing software solutions for product modelling applications.
