Features: This book strikes an appropriate balance between depth and breadth in its selection, encompassing both classic theoretical foundations and recent developments in computer-aided design (CAD) technology. It is primarily intended for undergraduate students in science and engineering disciplines at universities, as well as postgraduate students in engineering. Additionally, it serves as a training manual for designers, engineers, and technicians already working in the field. The book provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the fundamentals and applications of computer-aided design technology. It covers initial knowledge of CAD, basic concepts of computer graphics, geometric transformations and two-dimensional graphics generation techniques, interactive and interface technologies, three-dimensional graphics display, and the fundamental principles and implementation methods of product modeling. Alongside these theoretical discussions, the book introduces the functions and usage methods of practical two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawing software. Furthermore, the appendix includes teaching experiment guides, and the accompanying CD-ROM provides a teaching experiment platform software package.
