Features: This book aims to introduce how to design styling surfaces using the Style module of Pro/E Wildfire 2.0. Readers familiar with the construction of simple solids and simple surfaces in Pro/E can use this book to learn how to design aesthetically pleasing and smooth industrial product styling surfaces. The book first explains the basic concepts of styling surface design, such as the window for styling surface design and the display methods of styling surfaces. It then provides a detailed introduction to the basic tools of styling surface design, such as the types of styling curves, freeform curves, planar curves, and projected curves, the construction methods of styling curves, and editing methods (e.g., moving points on curves, modifying the shape of styling curves, setting boundary conditions for styling curves), the types of styling surfaces, boundary surfaces, lifted surfaces, and blended surfaces, and the construction and editing methods of styling surfaces. Next, numerous examples are used to illustrate the design concepts and processes of styling surfaces, such as lampshade design, modem design, screen design, goggles design, safety helmet design, mobile phone design, and car seat design. This book is suitable for styling engineers or mechanical engineers learning product styling surface design, as well as for industrial design departments or mechanical departments using it as a teaching or internship textbook for "Computer-Aided Industrial Design" courses. To facilitate your learning, the accompanying CD-ROM of this book includes a multimedia teaching system, where the author demonstrates and explains the detailed operation processes of all the examples in the book step by step using Pro/E Wildfire 2.0.
