Features: This book is a recommended teaching material by the Department of Vocational Education and Adult Education of the Ministry of Education. Based on the CAXA Manufacturing Engineer software, this textbook comprehensively introduces the main functions and operation methods of the CAXA software. The book is divided into 6 chapters. Chapter 1, "Fundamentals of CAXA Manufacturing Engineer XP," introduces the user interface and basic operational functions of the software. Chapter 2, "Curve Drawing," explains all the commands related to curve drawing. Chapter 3, "Solid Modeling," demonstrates the commands and operations for solid modeling through 6 typical part cases. Chapter 4, "Surface Modeling," comprehensively guides the reader through the commands and operations for surface modeling using two cases. Chapter 5, "Part Machining," introduces the differences between machining modeling and design modeling, the meanings and settings of machining-related parameters, etc. Chapter 6, "Comprehensive Examples," fully integrates CAD and CAM, comprehensively applying the knowledge from the previous chapters to introduce the entire process of part modeling, setting machining parameters, generating tool paths, generating G-code, and creating operation orders. Appendix: "CAXA Manufacturing Engineer XP Command Summary," provides readers with convenient access to command lookup and reference. At the end of each chapter, there are hands-on exercises to help readers review and improve their practical skills, as well as facilitate instructors in planning lessons. This book is also accompanied by an electronic teaching reference package (including a teaching guide, electronic lesson plans, and answers to exercises), details of which can be found in the preface.
