Features: This textbook takes 3D modeling as the main thread, adhering to the basic concept of spatial imagination and visualization. It organically combines modern 3D mechanical design software with engineering drawing content, addressing the issue of abstract imagination in traditional teaching methods and better fostering students' spatial imagination, spatial configuration, and expression abilities of spatial forms. In terms of content organization, it emphasizes sketch training while reducing traditional drafting and quantitative graphical solutions, focusing on cultivating students' 3D design and 2D expression skills.
This textbook selects the simple and easy-to-learn 3D mechanical design software SolidWorks as its platform, focusing on its practical functions, particularly solid modeling and engineering drawing generation. To leverage its capability of exchanging data in multiple formats, enabling interaction with other CAD software (such as AutoCAD), the textbook introduces the application of AutoCAD in the appendix.
The textbook is accompanied by a workbook and a CD-ROM, which includes instructional notes for the textbook, a reference teaching schedule, mock exams and answers, a 3D model library (comprising assemblies, parts, and assemblies), and answers to some exercises. It is suitable for engineering drawing instruction in undergraduate and associate programs in mechanical and near-mechanical disciplines at ordinary universities and colleges.
