Features: Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) are important components of advanced material processing technologies. This book focuses on material processing CAD technology, CAE technology, CAM technology, and their specific applications, emphasizing the fundamental concepts, principles, and methods of material processing CAD, CAE, and CAM technologies. These include three-dimensional modeling techniques, information exchange techniques, intelligent techniques, and optimization analysis techniques in computer-aided design; mathematical modeling techniques and numerical analysis techniques in computer-aided engineering; and CNC machining processes, CNC programming, and CNC machine tools in computer-aided manufacturing. The book also elaborates on the specific applications of material processing CAD/CAE/CAM technologies in the fields of liquid metal forming, plastic forming, joining forming, injection molding, and rapid prototyping. Finally, it introduces mainstream CAD/CAE/CAM systems in the material processing field, such as UG, Pro/E, Solidworks, and Mastercam, using these systems as examples. This book is intended for undergraduate students in the field of material forming and control engineering, as well as for graduate students and related engineering professionals as a reference.
