Features: This book employs numerous examples to introduce methods and techniques for product design and modeling using Pro/ENGINEER, combining theory with practice. The content progresses from basic to advanced concepts, first introducing general concepts of product design and the Pro/ENGINEER working environment, followed by the product design process and fundamental 3D modeling in Pro/ENGINEER. It then provides detailed and comprehensive explanations of 3D solid modeling, surface modeling, and the methods for establishing datum. Building on this foundation, the book covers product form design and Pro/ENGINEER modeling techniques, using examples such as a mineral water bottle, keys, and a teacup to demonstrate how to create 3D models using solid modeling features. After mastering solid modeling, it explains the application of surface modeling in product design with examples like a mouse, faucet, hairdryer, soccer ball, and streamlined car, and uses Pro/ENGINEER's built-in rendering controls to render the product examples. Finally, it introduces the concept of human-machine design and Pro/ENGINEER measurement analysis.
