CADCAM: Principles, Practice and Manufacturing Management

The most balanced coverage of Computer Aided Design and Manufacture available!

Providing a balanced coverage of both aspects of CADCAM, this book explores the processes of defining a product design with the aid of computers, of developing manufacturing plans and instructions for the product, and of managing the manufacturing system itself. The book has been thoroughly updated and expanded for this second edition and the mix of theory, practice and analysis makes it suitable for both analytical and overview courses.

This book provides an ideal core text for CADCAM courses at undergraduate degree level in Industrial, Mechanical, Manufacturing and Production Engineering.
