Features: Based on introducing traditional CAD/CAM knowledge, this book discusses the concepts, principles, methods, and implementation models of networked CAD/CAM technology, incorporating the new challenges brought by the introduction of mesh technology. The book consists of 7 chapters. Chapter 1 primarily introduces the relevant concepts and principles of CAD/CAM technology; Chapter 2 describes the foundational support technologies and computational models of networked CAD/CAM systems. Starting from Chapter 3, it introduces traditional CAD, CAPP, and CAM technologies while elaborating on the new issues arising from networking and further discusses networked CAD/CAM integration technology. To provide a practical understanding of the related technologies, Chapter 7 dissects an example of a networked CAD/CAM system. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in manufacturing engineering-related fields, a reference for graduate teaching, and a reference book for technical personnel working in related professions.
