Features: Pro/ENGINEER is currently a very popular 3D design software, encompassing a variety of functions such as part design, product assembly, mold development, NC machining, sheet metal design, casting design, automatic measurement, mechanism simulation, and stress analysis. Mastercam has almost become synonymous with CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), covering all aspects of product machining from CNC turning to CNC milling, and wire electrical discharge machining. Properly utilizing Pro/ENGINEER and Mastercam can significantly shorten the time users spend on product development and manufacturing. This book provides detailed examples of the combined application of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 and Mastercam 9.0 in 3D modeling design, mold design, and CNC machining. The accompanying CD-ROM includes animated teaching files for each example's operation. Through studying this book and the supporting CD-ROM, readers can understand and master the 3D modeling concepts of Pro/ENGINEER, mold design methods, and the powerful CNC machining functions of Mastercam. This book can serve as supplementary teaching material for universities, colleges, and various CAD/CAM training classes, as well as a reference for industrial design personnel and mold CNC programming professionals.
