Features: This book is tailored to the characteristics of industrial design, focusing on a systematic explanation of computer-aided industrial design (CAID). It emphasizes 3D modeling, design expression, virtual industrial design, and virtual presentation applications, thereby highlighting the more important standards and principles of CAID hidden behind the design forms. The goal is to establish a systematic CAID concept for industrial designers. The book covers commonly used digital design tools in industrial design, including CorelDRAW, Rhinoceros, 3Dmax, and Cult3D. Each software is analyzed and explained through a design example, presented in a step-by-step and visually engaging manner, enabling readers to truly master various methods of computer expression for industrial design concepts. This book is primarily intended to meet the needs of undergraduate industrial design education in China, serving as a textbook for such courses. It can also be used as a reference book for design enthusiasts engaged in self-study.
