Features: This book aims to introduce how to design styling surfaces using the Style module of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0. Readers familiar with basic Pro/ENGINEER solid and surface modeling 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. Then, it provides a detailed introduction to the basic tools for styling surface design, such as the types of styling curves, freeform curves, planar curves, and projected curves. It also covers editing methods for styling curves (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, as well as editing methods for styling surfaces. Next, numerous examples are used to illustrate the design concepts and processes of styling surfaces, such as lampshade design, modem design, monitor design, goggles design, safety helmet design, mobile phone design, and car seat design. This book is suitable for styling engineers or mechanical engineers studying product styling surface design, as well as for use as a teaching or practical textbook for industrial design or mechanical engineering courses in "Computer-Aided Industrial Design." To facilitate readers' learning, the accompanying CD-ROM includes a multimedia teaching system, where the author demonstrates and explains the detailed operation processes of all the examples in the book using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0.
