Résumé

An Introduction to CAD/CAM/CAE is a timely text with coverage of many modern topics, including:
rapid prototyping, virtual engineering, NT-based solid modeling systems, and Web-related issues.
This book provides balanced coverage of CAD/CAM (with slightly more emphasis on CAD topics)
and bonus coverage of computer-aided engineering (CAE). This book's emphasis on the integration
of three related disciplines-CAD, CAM, and CAE-makes it a great theoretical introduction to all
subjects from geometric representation to the most sophisticated CAE subjects. Many illustrations
and references ground the theory in practical examples.

The book also features a unique illustration of the whole product development process through a
practical case study that gives readers a clear idea how CAD, CAM, and CAE systems are
integrated to accelerate the product development process.
This book is carefully targeted toward today's students; topics are introduced in a concise, efficient
manner, with mathematical terminology that is kept to a minimum. A background in programming,
calculus, and matrix and vector algebra is helpful when using this text.
